Reply #7: stunning - I just dont get it [View All]

The public LOVES the "privatize it" meme. And I just DONT GET IT. How the F does anyone think it will be cheaper to have a FOR PROFIT business running things?

Oh yeah, that's because all the Republicans need to do is WRECK the public owned businesses by not funding them or staffing with cronies. Then they sell it out to (the same cronies) and claim mission accomplished. And the dumb sheep fall for it every time.

When I read Naomi Kleins Shock Doctrine I was amazed at time and time again even the LEFT wing govs fell for the economic voodo of capitalism / privatization. They won the country (elections whatever) but lost it in the long term economic / legal front.
