What a wonderful idea it would be to privatize as many governmental agencies as possible - education for one - and let the free market determine competence and success.

However, like Will Rogers said, "The politicians won't do it for 2 main reasons - the people want it and it makes sens."

The politicians would never risk losing their control and power by promoting and sanctioning it.....

What's your opinion?

Conservative politicians will GAIN power by REDUCING the power of government. Eliminating government agencies and handout programs will eliminate the democrat constituency. Every handout program we end allows more room to cut taxes...which reduces the need for these programs...eventually ending them...allowing taxes to be reduced further...As people become less and less dependant on government, they vote Republican...and the Reps stay in power. Less government = lower taxes = greater incentive to succeed = less of an entitlement mentality = the death blow to socialism
