[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 681421, member: 2189"] Well said Jim! It's easy to confuse privatization with free markets but in fact they are not one and the same by any stretch. Lew Rockwell in a [URL="http://mises.org/daily/979"][COLOR=red]Mises 2002' piece[/COLOR] [/URL]said the following concerning privatization: Many paleo-liberals have seen through the smoke and mirrors that is called privatization and although they may have other motives (not always evil motives mind you) they were correct in opposing. It's one thing for gov't to contract out schools, social security, even medical care which is what much of Obamacare is and will be but the gov't is still the boss acting as the contracting party, contractor to contractee. Free market is where gov't ends all efforts on it's part of providing say for schools, or retirement accounts and even medical care and allows a true open and free competitive market with no one having the control of gov't to use for market advantage. It's bad enough that under neo-liberal leadership of Washington, the corp. toehold on all things gov't is still as fully entrenched as before but buying into the idea of privatization as some free market operation is at the least misleading. How is it that privatizing an industry to be doled out by contract from the gov't to a protected private corp. monopoly free market? If this is the system you believe in then 1930's and 1940's Italy is your model as it was also for other admirers like [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Deal_and_corporatism"][COLOR=red]Churchill and FDR[/COLOR][/URL]. Is it really hard to believe when we were also friends with [URL="http://www.injusticebusters.com/index.htg/00001/saddam_Rumsfeld.jpg"][COLOR=red]this guy[/COLOR] [/URL]at one time too? [/QUOTE]
