STUART M. BUTLER; PRIVATIZATION: A WAY OUT
1984
Overview
There is, however, a way out - it's called privatization. Instead of engaging in the losing war of attrition, privatization calls for the government to provide incentives for people to seek services from the private sector, rather than from the federal government. Privatization, in other words, means transfering programs into the private sector with the carrot of incentives, rather than the stick of cutbacks. The inducements would be designed to build a coalition of interests pressing for private provision - a sort of \"mirror image\" of the coalition that supports government programs. And as demand shifted toward the private sector, opposition to cutting the federal sector would diminish. Though it may sound like heresy, even Logan Airport could be privatized. Robert Poole notes in a Heritage Foundation study that in Switzerland and other countries the air traffic control system is provided by a private company, and the FAA permits several smaller airports in the United States to be privately operated. Why not sell Logan to the highest bidder and invite an FAA-approved private firm to handle the flights? Thanks to the PATCO strike, there would be no shortage of qualified controllers to staff the tower.
