    Typical conservative strategy:

    • Public thing exists
    • Become a lead weight in government so public thing gets underfunded and cannot adapt to market changes.
    • Public thing no longer meets expectations.
    • “See? It should be privatized and you won’t have this issue”
    • Privatize thing. A few people make a crap load of money in the transition. Thing starts out acceptable for the first few years.
    • “Oh no, capitalism uses an infinite growth ponzi model. How do we increase shareholder value this year?”
    • Private thing gets underfunded and consumers get manipulated and abused.

    Are we winning yet?
