I have decided that, for me, the ports deal with Dubai is a good thing. What tipped me over was an Israeli shipping company endorsing how well they manage ports

I've heard that argument over and over again. People say "Let's let them run the ports because they can do it better than we can."

I guess I have to agree. There are things other people from other countries do better and more effectively than we do. So, I hereby make my vote for turning over the following enterprises to foreign governments to operate in our country:

• Our education system K-12. We have failed as a country. We can’t educate our students, and what we do is so hopelessly expensive I say we give it to Belgium, which has an effective and inexpensive education system based on school choice.



• Our TSA department. Our security system of shoeless airline passengers with Barney Fifes (God rest his soul) in charge should be sold to the Israeli army. We will get good security without having to be made to feel like idiots.



• All remaining domestic auto production in American we should sell to the Japanese.



• Any remaining heavy manufacturing, sell to the Chinese.



• Our health care system we should see to the Canadians (they do so much better).



• Our money-losing airlines (outside of Southwest)? Sell them to the Germans.

You get the idea. We have so many things we do badly in this country that some other country does so much better. We can sell everything to someone somewhere.

I just wonder how much England would put on the table to buy out our entire government. We could become a colony.

Wouldn’t that be efficient?

There is a limit, revealed only by hyperbole, to the whole "someone else can do it better than we can" idea. Some things need to be done here even if we do it badly.
