This double dipping is outrageous and must stop.

I see this as a huge disaster for the country and our Veterans. It is asinine to think that all Government services will do better under privatized ownership. Corporate correctional facilities have been a disaster in terms of management of prisoner's basic civil rights and lack of health care. And yet, we can expect more contracts going to these facilities who have done a lousy job with undocumented foreigners, particularly illegal migrants and those migrants who are seeking asylum due to political problems and safety problems in their home countries. The insular Ultra-Nationalism is turning to policies that are somewhat similar to Nazi Germany, and that is an intrinsic threat to our Nation's democratic values and the Rule of Law. It is bad enough that our Members of Congress still push privatizing the post office and health care when we citizens are finding that services promised become null and void as for-profit businesses want to pay exorbitant and obscene compensation to the top managerial class as they exploit their own staff and hourly workers. It is disgraceful and un-American!
