What say you, Reaganbots? --
"Agree with Malusinka
""Profiteering"...boy, there's a word you don't hear much outside of the old Soviet Union. Apparently, private business and profit are not just wrong, but sinful, in the eyes of libwit neo-Puritans.
"One can support or oppose privatization in various contexts, but to try to turn it into a universal sin is seriously stupid. Then again, so are anti-capitalistic libwits.

What was it your "Randian/Libertarian" Ronnie Raygun said? Gov't is the problem? And he made no exception to that absolutist rule. So do the exceptions only apply to "free market" privatization"?
Learn history: many functions are gov't operated based upon lessons learned--from the greed, incompetence, and sociopathically self-serving failures of "privatization". We don't have private armies becaue they are a threat to freedom. We don't have entirely privatized health care bacause the majoirty can't afford access to such a monopoly.
Typical of the vacuous in-a-present-only-vacuum "Libertarian" ideology is the tireless, and tiresome, preachment that it is essential we be as ignorant as possible of history and reason so as to reinvent every wheel that need not be reinvented--so long as all that unnecessary and inefficient reinvention maximizes privatization of the taxpayer's monies to corporate welfare, the use of which is to gouge the taxpayer a second time for access. The taxpayer is gouged to build the football staidium--then must to pay a second time, for a ticket, to see the game.
