One of the biggest scams ever promulgated onto the American public was their reinventing government initiative.
The stated purpose was that by privatizing core government functions, we would get better services and save the taxpayers money.
The reality was that core government competencies were gutted, and it became a looting spree by contractors and consultants.
One of the biggest causes of transit cost bloat is the decimation of "state capacity" and the outsourcing of everything from design to procurement to engineering to manufacturing to consultants and other grifters.
