PPPs are corruption, you should correct your misstatements, and your childish comments.

Combining government with corporations-- that is fascism, even if it is so-called soft fascism. Predictably, you can be counted on to defend it, because it is essential for globalization, no matter what they call it.

Well, there ya' go. I'm a fascist because I favor the private sector handling non-essential governmental functions, despite the fact that the idea is a linchpin of economic conservatism.

And that would make anyone opposed to the above a communist. See how that works?

And as an aside, how do you propose to prevent this creeping, infernal “fascism” first promulgated by Margaret Thatcher, and then Ronald Reagan? What governmental solution do you propose? I’m guessing more Amtraks.

But now that I think about it, unless you come up with an alternative that does not involve more government (to quash PPP's), you are Chinese. Literally.

So have at it: let's hear your proposals for the operation of a power plant, waste treatment facility, cell phone network, etc. Without the corrupting interference of the private sector, of course. Be careful . . . .
