Privatization

My opinion, based on personal observation and experience, is this: It's almost always a big mistake to transfer government services and functions to businesses that have a primary goal of maximizing profits. Private sector firms seeking easy money always guarantee that the service can be provided, or the function can be performed, much more effectively at a substantially reduced cost to the government. And Republicans always fall for it.

We've already seen the Halliburton money pit in operation in Iraq.

Judging by the amount of water on driveways and sidewalks and in the street, some Texans seem to think you can grow concrete and asphalt using lawn sprinklers.
