“Privatization” the way the Republicans do it might as well have been tailor-made to appeal to Trump.
Imagine the sales pitch:
“Okay now Mr. President, see this program over here that’s carried out by government employees? Just imagine that instead of having government employees do it, we contract with some private company to do it. The government would still be paying for it, but instead of all of that money going to a government agency, it goes to some private company that’d damned well better show their gratitude if they expect to keep that contract.”
I can just see him, like Scrooge McDuck, with a dippy smile on his face and dollar signs in his eyes.
That pretty much goes without saying.
