So the answer is privatize everything? [View all]

On Diane Rehm there is a jackass from the Cato Institute whose answer for all our problems is privatize everything.

I know I am a slow dumb southerner, but with privatization comes profits. If you privatize a department make a profit and save money just what are we cutting?

I think of education in for profit schools, profits come first the students come second. If we privatize government profits come first and the American citizens come second. Pure and simple.
