Do you mean the same private sector where AIG was insane enough to insure a trillion dollars in crappy mortgages? They took a federal bailout and hired Sheryl Crow to perform at the party where they handed out bonuses to the idiots who helped causes the financial disaster. Enron, Arthur Anderson, Lehman Brothers...the same human beings who make up the public sector screw up the private sector. The geniuses who work for BP and Halyburton drilled a big hole in the bottom of the ocean that spewed uncontrolled oil for months. Medical mistakes kill upwards of 200,000 people per year and those are mostly private sector doctors and nurses. I've worked in government and the private sector and saw the same amount of incompetence in both.
Ahhh, the beloved private sector....
