Which is precisely the reason why having the government build the
infrastructure with public dollars makes so much sense. It encourages
competition and potentially keeps costs down to the consumer..

Ummm... Have you forgotten that you're talking about the government
here?

"Government" and "keeping costs down" are mutually exclusive concepts.

Think about what I'm suggesting before objecting.

Oh... Got it. Didn't notice the sarcasm the first time around.

There wasn't any. There are some things government should do, including
putting infrastructures in place that market-based businesses can make use
of. It benefits everyone.

Government exists to serve me, the individual citizen, not businesses.
Period.

The government as it stands today is failing miserably on all counts
when it comes to serving the citizen. On the other hand, it's doing a
damn fine job of screwing them over in favor of businesses.
