The Ultimate “Public-Private Partnership”
By Mitch Berg
Liberals will occasionally try to sound “moderate” by claiming to favor “partnerships” between government and business.
These “partnerships” usually amount to one of a couple of things:
- The worst of both worlds; the inefficiency of government combined with the lean capitalization of a business
- The government picks a winner
In neither case do things work out well, as a general rule.
Except with this example, perhaps the most successful public private “partnership” in all history.
Just saying; if my financial planner hasn’t put a ton of money into Glock USA and Sturm Ruger, we’re gonna have to talk.

When Arizona wanted to enforce the border, the Obama Administration claimed it lacked the manpower to process all the illegals, the federal government would grind to a standstill doing nothing but sending home wet-backs. Now they want to expand background checks to include every person who touches a firearm? How could they possibly do it?

From a current official in state government:
“Knowing that “More Real? Art in the Age of Truthiness” was the featured exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (MIA), I squeezed in a museum visit following a shorter than expected meeting in the Whittier Neighborhood. Since public health prides itself on being data-driven and evidence-based and since I’m interested in how art can enhance public health, I easily justified this visit during the work day as part of my personal celebration of Public Health Week.”
So you see, Joe Doakes, they could simply stop justifying work-time visits to art institutes for a while and do some “real” work instead. I’m not saying that would actually happen, but it’s possible.
