Privatization of operations which *belong* to the people has many benefits to the private sector and none to the people. It is sold as a cost saving measure. But this is extremely deceptive as the costs to the people are never lower with the introduction of PROFIT into the process.
Profit is the raison d'etre for corporations which receive outsource contracts or those who operate in the private sector. The MIC is beholden to the high profit margin defense industry and the entire procurement process has been a conveyor belt directly the people's money to the corporate sector much of it in no bid bloated contracts.
And look at the cosy relationship between the MIC and the pentagon... as they decide what weapons systems are needed. Needed is quite the concept. Why do we need star wars? Or a nuke submarine fleet? Or massive floating battle groups? Or smaller figter planes costs $250 million or more a copy?
The MIC has provided hundreds of thousands of jobs to American workers and is a cancer on the economy killing it and diverting all productivity for useful goods and services into dead end weapons of destruction and war.
The *defense* sector and the national security sectors probably consume half the budget of the US. Who even knows precisely... But the spending is nothing short of obscene. War is a racket and capitalists are laughing all the way to the bank.
