If the government did start deciding what cereal we were going to eat, I guarantee there would be people here who would approve. I have yet to come up with any example of the Nanny State that has hit the liberal limits around here.
They had a system in that town and it worked up until now. You know, I would bet that if you looked into this long enough and hard enough you would find that the winning solo company crossed a few palms with silver. This is the company that will apparently get the new contract. I wonder how many small local outfits got booted out on their ear in the process.
I have never defended any state-created monopolies, and there have been damn few business monopolies in history that were any other kind. Cable companies in the early days had the exclusive government-licensed right to operate in given areas, and competitors were not permitted. Again, the excuse was "efficiency" and "duplication of infrastructure." Eventually, the technology routed around that.
