3. And why should the pockets be deep?
Shouldn't the annual budget be limited to what the company would of spent when it is privately owned? As I said, the company should be made to operate the same, and that should include a reasonable budget based on the size of the company.

Another thought, what if this was only done in major sectors everyone depended on (energy for example), and therefore, didn't care about a level playing field (but the stability and security of the product). The point in that scenario is to provide the cheapest, best product, not allow a free market to gouge people or set up a system that could fail.
