Re: Budget Cuts & Reality
Well, you can look at facts too, like the healthcare system in US compared to the public one in France.
The thing with privatised companies is that the main driver for efficiency is competition, but in some cases, there's just no competition depending on the sector (for various reasons). You often find this in the case the sector need really big corporations to work like railroad or electricity distribution (or insurance). Whether a sector must be public or private should depend on whether you can have meaningful competition or not.
There's also a problem if two corporations find that competition harms each other business and decide they would rather pass a deal to remove competition.
Finally, if the PDGs/workers salaries doesn't depend directly on the results because the company is too big (banks, car-manufacturers, etc...), those who work for this company will feel less concerned with it.
