Privatize Government Spending?

Posted by Eric at 9:35 am. Filed under: General

There is an interesting article in the Toledo Blade today by Homer Brickey, their senior business writer.

But, while we’re at it, why stop at just privatizing Social Security? Why not privatize government spending? Why not give each taxpayer a checklist and let him or her choose the spending priorities?

He goes through a checklist of what taxpayers might do if they were able to choose the priorities and manage government spending. He mentions the environment, veterans, the needy, the military, potholes, and other things, but there is one major omission.

I read the article twice to be sure, because the omission seems too obvious.

Some tax payers might even decide to scrap certain programs entirely and want to keep their money for themselves and NOT spend it.
