The notion that government can’t do anything right is a destructive one and it needs to die quickly. Privatization in industries that ought not be profit driven is a bad thing.
There is nothing hyperbolic in this statement. That you think it is hyperbole is evidence to me that we have a long way to go. There are areas that ought not to be privatized. It's pretty extreme to think that everything government does ought to be privatized. It's equally extreme to think that privatization never works. Government can and has done things right. To believe otherwise is foolish and extreme. It is equally foolish and extreme to think government is always the answer. There was no hyperbole in what I wrote. And you've completely sidestepped the points I raised. I gather I was correct in stating that you've never actually heard someone say that government is always the answer.
