Papantonio: Republicans Are Outsourcing America

Republicans always love to tell us that the private industry can do it better than the government. This goes for education, prisons, healthcare, and even Social Security. But the sad truth is that privatized industries are ripe with fraud.

America's Lawyer, Mike Papantonio, and attorney David Haynes explain what has happened.

of being more efficient and less corrupt than in house government services.

Not sure how many of us remember the lies promoting privatization-- oh, government is so corrupt, doing things via the private sector will make them more accountable and efficient.

And should have been repulsed forever from privatization from knowing about the moldy food and electric shocks our troops suffered under privatized military services in Iraq. When we did those systems in-house our tax dollars did double duty-- inexpensive services and job training for our troops.

And hearing about private prison corporations lobbying for stricter laws so they can reap greater profits.

And knowing how much more we pay for healthcare in our privatized system than other industrialized countries do.

Now they want to do away with minimum wages and workers benefits in the US. Republicans want Americans starving and dying in the streets. I am convinced of it.

Unfortunately, there is no REAL Opposition Party in the US right now. All we got is a Party of co-conspirators, always looking to make a "deal" with the insane Republicans. There's nothing the DEMS like better than making (terrible for us) "deals" with the GOP!
