Problem is that privitization of govt jobs ends up costing more than keeping them public.....because you usually end up with friends and buddies of the people in power with those jobs...and.....those private firms have to make a profit to stay in business......you end up spending more money for the same work.

A lot of government entities are getting away from privitization because it is cheaper to keep the public employees...even with the union deals and benefits

Instead of privitizing.....would be better to cut the un-needed jobs. Privitization of government jobs tends to be socialism GOP-style....and ends up costing taxpayers more money in the long run. Most states are reducing their budgets by cutting privitization and hiring back as govt employees

That’s been my gut feeling on the issue, too.

NJ would save much more by by dealing the infestation of illegal aliens.

Free medical care, education, and incarceration cost over $2.1 billion per year.

That number does not include ESL classes, free school breakfasts and lunches, subsidized housing, food stamps, increased cost to health and car insurance, suppression of salaries, closed hospitals, interpretation services in courts, remedial education programs, and the cost of ‘safety net’ use by American workers displaced by illegal alien workers.

Please cite an example that supports your assertion.
