With devastating austerity measures being imposed nationwide — state and local governments are facing a lot of budget crunches.

In an effort to make ends meet and bring in money — many of them are handing over control of public services to private corporations.

State and local governments are doing that because of the Reagan-era argument that private corporations are "always" able to run things more efficiently than governments.

But while privatization and outsourcing of public services may make sense on paper — it turns out they haven't worked for the people. George Washington and those other guys were onto something when they created a government for this nation!
