Only as a secondary machine to complement rebuilding and updating. Corporations have shown America, that it can't bebtrusted to build our country into the future. Corruption would be outrageous. Look at the Iraq rebuilding of their infrastructure. Everyone got ripped, and there is now, no infrastructure.

Is this a trick question? I'm retired Teamsters and the contractor bid for the work did the work and was paid for the work. I'm just not sure what the question is. Nobody but the people should own the commons roads, water, air they belong to us

Not anymore, Truevet. Look at all the hospitals, built and paid for by the taxpayer that were turned over to "investors" between twenty and forty years ago. Roads and bridges? Same thing.

From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community and When Corporations Rule the World and board chair of YES! magazine
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
Eric Utne, Founder, Utne magazine
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
