Privatizing Government Functions in the United States

I agree that government bureaucracies are ill-equipped to handle simple, everyday tasks since they manage them as a monopoly. The lack of competition affects the performance and, therefore, the quality of provided services. Such services can cost less than those of private companies, but the price is not what matters in the case when it comes to the quality of life of American citizens. Making these tasks the sole responsibility of private companies allows the government to save money and bring prosperity to the states. Moreover, the competition between these companies will definitely ensure the proper quality of services. The key federal government’s stakeholders are various departments, states with all their citizens, community organizations, and local authorities. In the case of New Jersey’s state government, the stakeholders would be such entities as the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the state’s citizens. I would approach the problem with the Jersey City water system the same way that Mayor Schundler did as trusting public companies with such critical issues as drinking water seems to be beneficial for everyone. The companies receive their profits, the government saves money, and the citizens have access to clean water at an affordable price.
