| Message | What does that mean? Private companies are not necessarily worse! (though in theory they are always better!) and what do you mean by making police better? are private companies more expensive? not as effective? That description sounds like propaganda to me, and you are just trying to persue your unfounded agenda! the only way that the private security would be worse is if "competitively " was not included in the above value. If it was corrupt, then yes, a government police firm would be needed. however, by nationalizing police now, after decades of successful private law enforcement, thousands of had working Beiteynans working in the security fields will lose their jobs! Just because the government is responsible for getting something done does not mean that the government has to do it! I mean, do government workers need to pave roads, cut down trees, supply food for the population, just because the government ensures that these things occur? The government can write checks to local businesses in order to get their prioirties accomplished, and in none of these instances are the services offered "worse" |

| Message | This is a vital bill, of course we assume that many of the privately employed security staff will be given a chance to retain for the state security services. |
