The Wisconsin Budget Project has a blog post with a checklist of questions we should ask ourselves before we move to privatize government functions.

Here’s an excerpt from the post:

Governor Walker has proposed a number of initiatives to privatize government functions or to make it easier to do so. One of those proposals, privatization of much of the “income maintenance” system for handling BadgerCare and Food Share applications and renewals, has suffered a couple of significant setbacks in recent weeks — most recently in a June 2nd Legislative Audit Bureau report.

However, those obstacles may only be small speed bumps in the Walker Administration’s efforts to downsize government by turning over more government functions to the private sector.
