Privatization is dismantling the nation's interstate highway network.

Privatization is dismantling the nation's interstate highway network, with the support and encouragement of the U.S. Department of Transportation and, until recently, without congressional review. Read about in Star Telegram's article HERE:

"Privatization, on the other hand, lets operators increase tolls rapidly, robs the public of a degree of control and does not guarantee service and safety levels. A year ago, highway privatization was a little-understood niche financing scheme. It is fast becoming the financing of choice, as public interest has been sacrificed for the almighty dollar."

The public chimes in on Texas Gov. Perry's Privatization schemes in the Dallas Morning news with seven (7) letters to the editor, including this one:

What is wrong with Texas government? Gov. Rick Perry wants to sell the lottery to a company that just hired his son. Sounds like nepotism to me. Why and how can Texas sell sovereign U.S. soil to Spain for the Trans-Texas Corridor?

The only person I see benefiting from any of this is Mr. Perry. Now he also has imposed mandatory shots for sixth-grade girls to prevent HPV.

Society is corrupt and collapsing. Chaos and crime seem to be the new world order. Texas had a chance to get rid of Mr. Perry, but it's still sleeping or just stupid.
