>>What privatization is all about, fundamentally, is a grab for the gold,<<
What privitization is about is:
1) Giving work to people who are good at it
2) Being efficient with US Tax dollars
3) Reducing the size of the government
All extremely good things.
Not always the case, for instance many municipalities privatize wastewater services and many tax payers are on the hook for upgrades, expansions, repairs, sometimes it isn’t a good option
The PO is not priority of doing there works. It became a social programs. Just like the efficient of the TSA.
