I understand in theory how private contracting could be effective for things like this, but the usual lack of accountability, lack of competition, and the obviously corrupt ways in which no-bid contracts are awarded make privatization in general at most a distorted shadow on the cave wall. But I guess the grass is always greener.
private contracting? who said anything about that?
as for lack of accountability, lack of competition, and "obviously corrupt ways" - fuck, that describes big government to a tee.
