    I remember in a Blowback episode George HW Bush was the Darth Vader of privatization (of the military).

    Underfund thing -> it underperforms -> people get mad -> private option sounds good -> private option sells your organs

      It sucks that this strategy seems to be working, and that libs seem to keep getting blindsided by it. Even though right-wingers explicitly, loudly talk about how their end goal is to eliminate public school entirely and have taxpayer-funded private christian schools as the primary educational institutes.
