1. Privatization never reduces corruption. If anything it takes it out of public scrutiny and no one knows what the hell is up anymore.

2. competing schools - not a good idea. Then you are giving more money to the schools that need it least and what's to stop a "private" principal from just expelling students they thought would bring down their average. If you did the opposite, giving money to improve the lesser performing schools, well then you have a race to the bottom of who can be worst. Usually schools that perform badly are inner city public schools which crime and poverty are already rampant. Reinforcing it by not sending them as much tax subsidy would just make it worse than it already is.

3. The right-wingers think privatizing everything is the solution. Not so. If it would've worked in the past when everything was private, we wouldn't have the large scale programs that were introduced during the 20's which resulted in the president getting reelected 4 times, scaring the crap out of conservatives such that they put limits on how many terms a pres. could serve.

4. Yes I agree that there is a lot of waste in the way the beauracracy is run. Perhaps there should be revamping rather than scrapping of the systems. Everyone is so quick to just give up on it and say "screw it, just get rid of it and privatize it so i don't have to worry about the headache". Problem is, in doing it so people no longer want to worry about it, then they REALLY don't worry about it.
