> Umm none? I don't recall a Libertarian ever being in power.
A pretty good percentage of the republican party considers themselves libertarians, and libertarians vote for republicans who hold views strikingly similar to them.
The post office is a great example of a (previously excellent) government service that's been purposely degraded so that it can be made a target for privatization.
The public school system has already started going through this with charter schools, which are mostly an unregulated mess filled with thieves.
> Yes, a bid from the government....
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with this. Yes, the government makes a work spec, and puts that up for companies to bid on. A single company will win that bid. This isn't a capitalist arrangement where there's multiple companies providing the same service and competing against each other. It's literally just a worse form of government with someone taking a profit.
