4992, This is dangerous in that the GOVERNMENT's role is Posted by FireBrand, Sun Apr-13-03 06:21 AM
to establish, protect, and maintain infrastructure. What if it is no longer "cost effective" for a company to sponsor something like a bridge, tunnel,or highway? What happens when you then have to go to the lowest bidder, and THEY are soley responsible for the upkeep as opposed to being federally/locally/state subsidized?
Then you have infrastructure problems. Suddenly, NYC has a vested interest in a particular company's welfair. That is a dangerous conflict of interest.
Damn a Enron (same deal, but offshore investmensts in Afghan oil thru CentGas)...this shit will get ugly when people can't take the holland tunnel cause Pepsi is having budget cut backs.
