yellow is on the line with us and the reason foundation reason dot com
is their website
after john casick and won the hotel all heil gubernatorial election last fall
one of his first appointees is a bad thing gary moore
he's the director of rehabilitation psmkr actions
turns out that what more used to do was be the managing director of the cc a
correction corporation of america
a company that i will not only pushes to build more private prisons but also
while these
lawmakers including photo by skype fees bunnies lawmakers were more people in
jail
and ohio this month becomes the first state prison of the first country in the
state in the nation
privatize eight prison to sell a private a prison paid for with taxpayers'
dollars lands taken by eminent domain and sell it to any for-profit
prison company c_c_a_
welcome the program
don thank you for having me today
i don't understand why is a good thing for us to be privatizing
are commons
okay prompted a question
the reason that you're seeing a lot of interest today and i did not only
correction in terms of privatization but really
and a lot of different topics include
public service uh...
therapist simple fact that state local governments and federal government
they're out of money they're looking to partner with the private sector to
deliver caught savings uh... you know to get higher performance to contracting
than they might get in the public sector today and neapolitan echoes are
basically looking
too
tel aviv quite buchanan parchment not in total but in part patroon your creative
partnerships with the private sector to took eight months
under dozens announcements for example in ohio
the money that they're going to get from selling his entire prison
is in a close one year's worth a budget that deficit
uses the same thing that happened when their daily privatize the parking meters
and and and chicago
to get a whole bunch acacia ridge short term
and then give away the stuff for years here's is the same thing as chicago
skyway is the same thing with their bare number of privatizations around the
country
governments are in trouble you're right we have this crisis that thirty years in
the same economic policies called reaganomics trickle-down economics has
produced we've got eighteenth the great depression brought about by
by uh... phil gramm pushing you reap repealing grant it with the gramm leach
bliley repeal in glass steagle act and and with the commodity futures
modernization act making it possible for for n rhonda which is wife was on the
board of and others to make
billions at the cost of wiping out the entire communistic i got that and states
are desperate for funds and you've got about your right wing cranks funded by
the coat brothers true ape-like they've done things like in the state of from of
uh... war against said if in a two-thirds majority to raise taxes uh...
you know i'm don anybody for anything in senses status like stock
you know i get that you know the conservatives have
have create a disaster and put a lot of states in a box
what i don't yet
is why they would be so desperate as to sell off
the comments i mean the whole point of we the people there is the founders
created this country
was too
provide for the comments
and our prisons if any if nothing else are our police our firefighters
our courts in our prisons are part of the comments
well tom you have a lot of
of issues aircraft within that statement for low-income ago back here want no
couple of that nature pains
on performing mention uh... bypassing the public asset and then spending the
proceeding you know i think that you'd feel a lot of fiscal conservatives that
would agree with you
that'll give me one example of that hasn't happened
okay will be available uh... than uh... governor daniels we spend indicating at
least union or two
uh... private investor that concessionaires to operate
uh... they invest at the proceeds of that which worrying about the book three
billion herself into an interest bearing account that was dedicated to
transportation up that uh... over a long term delivering new transportation at
the state did not have funding for companies to really simple question then
well i would any company
by or or lee city police on
the indiana toll road if they didn't think they did they find that
and i think that money out of washington we the people hickey money on
well because i actually what you find in the public sector a vacutainer
situations in which government are running enterprises and what do you
wanna
but didn't have the post office door uh... turnpike systemic over chester
more state-run liquor store operation when you can define it that yet they
could buy the ideological question is should the state be an active enough in
the first question we might disagree on that
on i would take no government shouldn't be in the business of that
uh... you-know-what kicked out if i'd uh... when we find is that government up
under political pressure to debate with white keep rate flow to keep need prices
from resembling what the market price would look like on what you find is that
they will keep prices low and then under invest in the asset to the point where
you have water systems uh... toll roads system defector that literally start to
crumble under the public sector i call it the yesterday public-sector
infrastructure death on what you're describing in his radio
says that what politicians
first of all that you mentioned the post office had there not been poisoned pill
legislation two thousand six passed by republican congress in georgia via bush
that forced the post office
to over a ten-year period
foley fonda
everytime health retirement benefits
for people seventy five years from now
people have not even born the post office to be showing a one point two
billion dollar surplus right now
that was a crisis that was manufactured by government just like medicare had the
republicans not pushed her medicare part d drug per program
and then said and we're not gonna find it
and you can to go see a prices with pharmaceutical companies might also yet
the by full retail another poison pill
you know i'll give you that that
conservatives have all over and over and over again instead of
having honest
discussion about programs they don't like they've sabotage them you know you
bush didn't like famous all input is that he'd fired to guide the was running
fame under clinton enjoyed a brilliant job
and replaced him with a guy who was the lawyer for of course
uh... you show
but judging company
i mean did he
that does not justify selling off our commons and it does establish any kind
of a president
i think gave it to the post office has been doing just fine since their
formation this country thank you very much but did they go to the military
functions just fine you can argue that it's being used in inappropriate ways
the best by civilian control you've got heeheehee d i a restaurant operates just
find the social security administration is never missed a check
and it's going to solve the next twenty-four years a small tweak and
solvent for ever
he got all
all these government programs that actually work better than the private
sector and the proof of that is look at the health care in any country and any
developed country in the world even some of the underlying letter costa rica look
at the health care around the world where
profit motive has been taken out
switzerland for example doesn't have a national health care system
it's all
companies
but they if you try to start a for-profit company offer primary health
care in switzerland
filter as in jail
uh... man as a consequence of that their caught their health care costs are half
of what ours are were whereas we've got people like you know bill mcguire making
a billion-and-a-half dollars off united healthcare
i mean this is
he and that that should be our comments to health care
well i'd come by tonight you've got a lot of issues and i think but basically
where we make you know i don't wanna essential thing
well why i think that uh... we might have different primer here at the
article and mister which to view what the current the common me
company
uh... you know preferred simplex is uh... but i'll give you two examples you
know what you consider new york city central park to be you know some private
type operation that is off limits to the common well we're talking about hero
prisoners collecting and processing human beings they're members of our
society this is our country and if they are
and they should be in the facilities which their help should be considered
part of the prominence comments will be held in those facilities aberdeen ohio
it'll still be overlooking facility to accept the question of who owns
the actual perkin water of the bill does question profits over downplay
he tried for profit company has one goal
and and you have to acknowledge this uh... plan for proper company dot i
deliver on carpeting that they don't deliver what they promised actor and he
is they are not going to make a profit
uh... so there there are floating bridge wealth and you've got the situation
public-sector attractive uh...
was always there and delicate i think the idea of making money off prisoners
is reprehensible position be real rehabilitated either close is saying we
shouldn't be an opportunity make money
alive really people in your lap quietly that for the rest of the vehicle
apparently anywhere and putting more
putting is is the comma hardman playing field
delial plantations
it but i think fifteen minutes past the hour
