Government waste?

Here is a comparison between government spending and sewage treatment.  I own a sewer utility and this comparison crossed my mind one day while working on the sewer plant.    

A sewer plant treats sewage with an aerobic and anaerobic process that produces clear water, which is discharged into a pond or water source.  However, the process produces phosphates (fertilizer) that remains in the clear water discharged, which feeds pond scum allowing it to grow.  If the amount of sewage treated is excessive the amount of phosphates rise in the discharged water and cause an increased amount pond scum.

Here is my point. The sewage is the money the government provides for programs, phosphates are government spending, and Pond scum is inflation.  For example, student loans have driven the cost of college up from $16,000 (total 4 years) when I went to school in 1985 to $88,000 (total 4 years) presently.  The costs of education has sky rocketed.  Why?  Capitalism, that’s why.  Supplying a free market with a ton of funding and the market will find a way to extract the money.  I recently visited my old campus, there are many upgrades that make it super nice and it is easy to see where the money was spent, but is it really necessary for this over indulgence?  It is clearly driven by students with borrowed money to spend.  Government backed mortgages are another example of government interference gone wrong.  Just wait until the fertilizer hits the healthcare system, people will not be able to afford to get sick!
