I heard Savage talking about the Industrial Prison complex last Friday night. I only caught the tail end, but his point is that nowhere else in the world does any country have so many people in prison as the United States. Many states have farmed out their responsibility for prison management to private companies that are making billions off the “enterprise.” This was the first I heard about the Koch Brothers having anything to do with the prison business, but it bears investigation. Also, a great number of people in those prisons, particularly federal prisons are illegal alien drug dealers, murderers, etc. If we closed the Border, oh my, might there be less of a need to incarcerate??? And there goes all that money. So, I don’t care if Savage is a crackhead - he had an excellent analysis for our consideration.
Im sorry but the idea that the Koch brothers who have more money than they can spend in 4 lifetimes want an open border to make money on criminal immigrants through the prison business is flat out looney.
If Savage says it and I happen to hear it I file it under BS and go on about my day.
The Koch Brothers fund things they believe in ...Im happy they can do that.
