Two problems with the author’s theory.

First, his solution is as Marxist as obumbler care.

Second, there is not one single thing the government does that it does as well as a private entity would do.

Compare Social Security with any insurance company annuity.

Compare the post office with FedEx or UPS.

Compare the VA with any Catholic hospital.

>>> Second, there is not one single thing the government does that it does as well as a private entity would do.<<<

And all your following examples.

If government losing out to private sector is because they do it with 1% of what private sector does, then I can accept the post office, etc.

But we all know that is completely opposite.

yep, his ‘solution’ is about as ‘conservative’ as Stalin.

Pity we can’t expand the headline to ‘conservative’.
