If they were to be PRIVATIZED, would that be PUBLICIZED?

I don’t like paying taxes. Everything should be privatized, including the criminal justice system. Let justice be sold to the highest bidder.

Absolutely NOT.
Look at military housing that is currently privatized. It's currently a hot mess.

Sure. Stop taxing people for their existence, allow competing services and let the people decide. Those who want an FDA or govt education system, etc. can support one with their own dollars.

Private contractors doing the governments work with taxpayer money isn't privatization, its cronyism.

Some agencies should be privatized, some agencies not!


Hillary and now aoc claim the VA is just fine and repubs are cherry picking to make it look bad. How can dems lose with such insightful people on their team?
I'm starting to wonder if some people have a Hillary chip implanted inside their heads.

It's just proof that privatizing something the government should handle is not a good idea.
