63. That's not what the commenter said. Government money
should not go to private corps' and s/he is correct. That is why our Healthcare system is such a failure and so expensive. All those HC Corps do is take a huge % out of the public funds for their own profit. They do not provide HC in fact they prevent it for the bottom line many times.

If the Govt has money set aside for a Public Works program that money will go much further if there are no middlemen dipping their

The 'private contractors' who have been profiting from the slaughter in our various wars, serve no function other than to profit from war and as long as money is a motivator for war, we will keep having them. If this country only went to war when it was actually in danger to protect itself and the military, NOT mercenaries, fought those wars, we have far fewer of them.
