| Any form of system whether it be free or locked in as communism shall fail miserably because its never controlled and eventually abuse happens and slush occurs within the system causing it to crash.
Private organizations should never be in any form or way in part of the government other than some regulations they must follow.
If you think your idea of having a public enterprise run everything that it shall be this wonderful Utopia that solves world hunger you are deeply mistaken and if you seek perfection you will really fall down that rabbit hole.

| P.S The root cause is human greed and thats something thats in all of us no matter how loyal or american we are.
The problem is us, its those who abuse the system that cause the trend and eventually everyone else follows the train.

Verizon is one example. Enron another. How about Halliburton overcharging? TOo many examples to list... |

Guess what they all have in common? Or is that already common sense by now?
Large corporations with too much control with then leave a nice crater of destruction once they are done and cleaned out.
While everyone was affected by the radiation of that blast one way or the other.
Supporter or not greed does not discriminate.
But there are also too many examples of government with too much control. Or better said the church was government back in the day. But thats another story.

It's called contractors inflating prices.
That abuse has been around for centuries. I know how they do it as well because contractors love to do the same for all of us who got screwed over by the hurricane and then milk people incredible prices for jobs that should be twice as less.
Contractors ask the suppliers to increase the amount of the actual good on the receipt and the contractors in general overspend not for sake of being short but because they can earn supplies off their clients.
A bag of cement will go for around 2.00USD? For a contractor that bag of cement will now cost you 5.00USD.
Many tried to pull that trick on me but I usually screw them over as I tell them "I shall buy the supplies" and as always it ends up costing me much less and simply have them work for the specific job. On top of that I watch them work just to piss them off because some love to not follow building codes yet they state "we shall make it by code".
I know what proper building code is as well because I was taught that when I worked in construction. So if they want to pull a fast one by saying "Thats how it goes, your trying to tell me?" bull.
Now, since government is not one person, they simply say ok give me the total cost, and I will pay.
