she sold public services built and paid for by the the taxpayer that worked well to the private sector (for really cheap) which then gutted them, made them worse, and charged more.  as a metaphor > you and your buddies come together pool your resources together to build a bitching club house > it takes a few years, but it's pretty good.  > it takes minimal investment to keep it going and everyone benefits  > later a new guy joins your group and starts to convince everyone the clubhouse ownership is a bit commie and you should sell it to a third party > the third party will allegedly make it better because they'll have to compete with other clubhouses in the area > eventually a plurality of your group agrees and sells it to greg for a fraction of what you and your buddies invested it > you do not get anything back from this sale  > greg limits the hours of the clubs house, begins to cut some services it had like the jukebox because it's not profitable ", and also raises membership fees. > the club houses has gotten worse, you're paying more, and it's not a competitive market because the average joe isn't going two towns over for a beer and billiards she fucked up by making public goods private. no one is regularly checking competing electric companies and going through the lengthy process of changing power companies every few years. how does a man who relies on the train for work vote with his dollar? there's one train, and a competing company isn't going build entirely new track to undercut the company that had their track built freely by the taxpayers because they can just lower prices after the competing company does all the hard work.
