Now THAT would be a recipe for DISASTER - with the country ruled by a whole bunch of petty warlords (rather like China early in the 20th Century - or Northern Pakistan or Afghanistan today). Private armies are a REALLY bad idea.

Blackwater?
Corrections Corporation of America, 65 correctional facilities
GEO Group operates 61 facilities
Cornell Companies has 79 facilities
Not to mention that many nuclear facilities are going privatized and several municipalities have tossed around the idea of privatizing their police to save money. there are also numerous cities and towns discussing the privatization of fire departments

The trend in America is to privatize everything
All of which are BAD ideas - but particularly the PRIVATE ARMIES.
We didn't have small Government the past 8 years, that was the problem! Most conservatives are more than willing to criticize Republicans when they grow Government and support wasteful spending.
Government grows by spending money acquired through borrowing, printing or raising taxes. If Government grows, then will have to use one of these methods to generate more revenues. Our Government is already way too big!
In 400 years of history about 350 the government has outspent it's income. It doesn't matter though they have the ability to tax.
Mighty funny no one was complaining when the Republicans built that Big Government! You know that Big Government that has Kept Us Safe™ since 9/11.
That's what happens when everyone thinks they are millionaires because they could paint a house and sell it. No one cared till responsibility had to stick it's ugly foot back in..... However big government didn't help solve the hidden problems it claims it can do. Both sides of the isle....I still cringe when Fwaaankksss get's replayed in my head.

Yeah, because the government holds a monopoly on the main currency distributed through-out and the land underneath your feet.
That's why you'll never have a government being held accountable for its financial insolvency. Their, the governments', bets are hedged, so to speak.
