They work very well in eliminating inefficiencies and completing projects on time and on budget.

It may be time to set the whiskey bottle and joint down now. Your remarks are becoming very strange and irrational.

On the contrary, Lazlo. I've seen them work well on the state and local level. Not every PPP is part of the inefficient and corrupt cesspool known as Washington DC.

Several of the country's largest construction projects were PPPs that came in on time and under budget.

Ask anyone who grew up in NY what it was like to go through the NY DMV in the 1980's, before PPP, versus the NY DMV AFTER moving to a PPP.

Here in my area, a PPP was able to build a beautiful community theater that the City couldn't afford on it's own; so a not-for-profit was created to oversee it and raise private funds for it. Came together on time and on budget (something Washington is not capable of, period).
