The claim is always made that it is less costly and saves taxpayers money to rely on the private sector, but it always costs much more.

Individuals working for private military contractors, for example, earn between $9,000 and $22,500 per month. If the person is working abroad, $104,100 of his earnings are tax free under the IRS foreign earned income inclusion. A soldier earns $1,468 a month.  A captain’s pay is $4,952.

In the US traditional government functions are being turned over to newly created “private” companies that have no customers but the government. 

********************************************

Soon the US government will be merely a revenue collector that hands out money to private firms.

Private billionaires will have superseded the government

just as in the feudal age Dukes, earls, and barons superseded the king.
