[quote user="schlimm"] [quote user="Phoebe Vet"]Can we presume that you are equally offended by everything else the government does that doesn't make a profit or at least break even? [/quote]  Like henry6, this was one of the most succinct expressions of the inconsistencies and clearly political bias of our resident accountant.  I can only remark that perhaps she would prefer to "privatize" the remainder of our military not already out-sourced.  For that matter, why not privatize the whole government? [/quote] A careful read of my post reveals two key points; <UL> <LI>What the government spends on other activities has nothing to do with what it should spend on passenger rail, and</LI> <LI>passenger rail is a suitable solution where the cost of expanding highways and airways is cost prohibitive.</LI></UL> I have maintained consistently these views since I began posting to these forums more than three years ago. No suggestion that the military should be outsourced was made or implied.  Since the beginning of the Republic the U.S. military has relied on contractors for equipment and supplies, as well as critical support services best performed by civilians.  There are numerous activites performed by governments at all levels that could be outsourced.  In fact, there are many examples of where they have been with good results.
