The Republican Magical Mystery Privatization Tour

The Republican Magical Mystery Privatization Tour

For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong – HL Menken

If you wonder why after 8 years the Republicans didn’t have a better solution to the Affordable Care Act, it’s because they did have a solution.

Apparently Republicans have 2 solutions for every problem:

  1. Smaller Government with less regulations
    and
  2. Privatize it!

They think that just by privatizing something with complex problems, the free hand of the market will magically solve and optimize them.

However this is not true.  And if you listen carefully, this is their solution to everything instead of defining objectives and using smart policies to meet them.

Privatize to Optimize

Need better health care? Privatize it!
Need better schools? Privatize it!
Need a better voting system? Privatize it!
Need better infrastructure? Privatize it!
Need a better military? Privatize it! (Blackwater/Halliburton/Brown and Root)
