Privatization does not mean competition.


You think there's no one waiting in the wings to bid against
Lockheed-Martin?

I'll bet there's at least half a dozen companies, all willing to bid on
the ATC contract, all promising to do it "cheaper-faster-better"...

That isn't quite the same as what we traditionally think of as free
market competition. In a normal free market, several companies are
providing roughly the same product or service at the same time. So you
can compare the performance of multiple companies simultaneously. That
is a whole lot different than serially switching from one low bidder to
the next and HOPING that the next company really can do what they say.
