Maybe you can stop private for profit prisons that Republicans love to have us pay for.
Not exactly apples to apples, though. Private contractors are providing a service. The cost-benefit analysis there is what would it cost to do it with civil servants (with corresponding benefits) versus a "pay as you go", scale up/down model that contracting affords.
Not saying it is perfect, but we don't "need" ethanol. No one needs it except corn farmers and corn state politicians, to be honest (much like rice subsidies in Louisiana - no one is immune). A favorite trick of lawmakers is to buy our votes with our own money.

No private prisons are a scam and are absolutely unnecessary. How could we as Americans be okay with that conflict of interest? They literally make more money based on how many prisoners they have and it all comes out of our pockets.
