(15,064 posts)government needs. When private profit making corporations are involved there will always be a problem. Corporations don't get involved with government without profiting in some way even though most federal government contracts are suppose to be "break even" propositions. I have worked for a couple who bid for government contracts. I feel that private entities involved directly in federal government operations is a conflict of interest and the private entity will always use the opportunity to their advantage. The government should be as big as it needs to be to serve the growth of population. Private corporations are not needed to fill the gap. The small government argument is a right wing thing that promotes private entity involvement who cares nothing about rights and only about profit.
As long as we are ruled by fascist theocratic corporate powers who decide what we consume and how we are ruled we lose our rights with every tick of the clock.
