Seems like Mitch Daniels in Indiana leased some of his toll roads to the same Spanish company, Cinta. This is wrong on so many levels, I don't even know where to begin. As to privatization in general, if the Koch brothers can pick up the trash cheaper than public employees, then it would be better for the taxpayers to let them do it. This is what competition is all about. I have to be cheaper than my competitor and/or provide a better product, or I go out of business and lose my job, in addition to my employees losing their jobs. There are many things my little burb contracts out to private companies, with the lowest legitimate bid getting the job. No problems with that. I want the best bang for my buck as a taxpayer, and I don't want to pay any more than I have to to get the minimum level of service I want. |

The idea is that if state workers can fix a pothole for $ 100 and a private contractor can fix the same pothole for $ 90, then the private contractor should be tasked with fixing the pothole. If the private contractor bids $ 110 to fix the pothole, then letting state employees do it for $ 100 makes sense. Competition. Free enterprise. Lowest bidder that can perform the work properly gets the job, just like my business. I don't get to charge more to my customers and have a job for life just because I have been working for them a long time. Every day, I have to keep proving myself. If I get complacent and lazy, or charge too much, my customers find someone else to do their work. |

it also sounds like an excellent way to replace Americans with illegals that will work for a pittance.

You think so ... then how do you explain the SCOTUS departing from *precedent* in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission where the Roberts Court ruled unconstitutional the ban on corporate treasury funding of independent political campaigns ?
