Easier private-state contracts?
2 comments | Read story
If we can agree on a contract with a private firm to provide the same service the government provides at a lower cost to taxpayers, than we'd better do it. If we think those services will not be as good, then we should consider that and determine if it's an acceptable price to pay for saving taxpayer dollars.
Further, we shouldn't expect or try to get the government to provide for all our needs (that's not possible anyway since each person's needs are so different and government by nature is so rigid and un-flexible). That breeds government dependence, weakening society and leading to less freedom and liberty. We need only look at France, communist Russia, and other such big-government nations for evidence.
Does privatization mean businesses will make money? Of course! But isn't that a good thing? Why shouldn't someone be able to make money if they can provide a good or service for cheaper than we're paying for it now? That's why most of us have jobs. Thank goodness our founding fathers had more sense than to leave everything in the hands of government.

This bill, along with Sen. Stephenson's government privatization bills are all precursors that are necessary to grease the wheels of a far, right-wing movement to systematically move government functions under the purview of big business corporations.
For those of you who don't recall the components of fascism, here is the definition.
fas-cism n. 1. A philosophy or system of government that advocates or exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with an ideology of belligerent nationalism.
If you've ever wondered how any country could ever be so foolish as to come under the rule of fascist ideology, this is how it is stealthily pulled off.
