They’re creating a problem, with the purpose of supplying the ‘solution’: Privatization.

"So let’s agree that we are, for the time being, a democracy. We pay taxes in: we receive goods and services in return. Our elected representatives receive compensation for their work; the rest goes in the pot.

We are the shareholders.

We are the beast. Starve it, starve us.

There is no question, that government can be wasteful, or that bureaucracy can be difficult to deal with. There are nearly 312 million people in the United States; a government that has grown proportionally to serve all those people is bound to have some waste built in, and redundancies occurring. Because of its (our) size it can seem indifferent to our needs, which we built it to address. But does that make our government wrong or evil? No. It means we’re not doing enough maintenance."http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/08/02/when-you-starve-the-beast-who-eats-its-food/
