Profitizing or privatizing public services is actually PILLAGING the public domain and tax coffers. It is never cheaper and 40% or more of the money spent is for pure profit. Privatization is what Bush was talking about when he mentioned the "ownership" society. And such a governing philosophy makes feudalism look good.
What the GOP supports with its business allies is just plain criminal. It is like a growing and spreading cancer that will surely bankrupt the country. Such policy allows even our mortal enemies to buy up our country. The association of Booz Allen, the Carlyle Group and the Bin Laden family in our NSA should tell you something.

The worst thing that ever happened was the privatization of national security.
That is a fucking oxymoron. It is now in the interest of the contractors to maintain their perpetual wars and their perpetual fear.
