I would trust the government over private concerns anyday. With the government I have ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES who are answerable to the voters. Eventually it balances out. (The 2010 primaries will be VERY interesting to say the least. Moderate/Progressive STEAMROLLER) Who do I have to help me deal with the private concerns? LAWYERS! (LOOK OUT!!!! TORT REFORM!!! OOOOH NOOOO!!!) |
Private corporations are answerable to individuals through people’s choice on how to spend their money ...
Let's look at corruption and fraud in the government:
The Government Accountability Office estimates that at least 10 percent of the funding for federal government programs is lost to public corruption and government fraud every year.
Now, this is the FBI talking about corruption and fraud in the legal sense, and doesn't include things like improperly awarded contracts or programs of dubious value. Can you think of any private company that has (at least) 10% of their money lost to corruption or fraud?
Do you think that companies like FedEx can operate in competition against the government while providing a better service at a lower cost while turning a profit is because the federal government is so inefficient and corrupt?
