"There is a fundamentalist economic belief that somehow everything done by the private sector is good productive profitable and efficient and everything done by the government is the opposite. This is total nonsense, has always been nonsense, and is refuted both theoretically and empirically.

And the private sector in this country has been able to develop a hostility to the government that allows them to be deregulated in ways that are very very profitable for them." - Richard Wolff
