Yeah, those evil government programs that support the needs of the economy. They should cancel all of those programs! Get rid of public water and trash services! Sell all the roads! End the military too! When was the last time they turned a profit?
- twblalock 6y agoIt's pretty simple, the government should only pay for stuff the market won't provide by itself. When the government tries to compete with market alternatives it provides a worse product, and it sucks up tax money that could be put to better uses, so why bother? The market is not providing a military or water or garbage utilities, so if we want those things, we have no choice but to put up with the government's version of them. They will never be profitable so the government is the only logical provider. On the other hand, the market is already providing a number of competent, successful mail delivery companies that are able to survive without taxpayer money. Why should we pay to prop up a bad business model (i.e. the USPS) when so many better models already exist, and anyone can use them?
