Arnold Kling on Private vs. Public

From Arnold Kling at EconLib...if only people in Washington D.C. could see this...

"That is, if a private-sector worker commits a crime, then the liability for the lawsuits falls on the private firm, not on the taxpayer. The costs of the new training and procedures needed to prevent a recurrence of the crime are borne by the private firm, not by the taxpayer"
