That FT piece puts it very well. Supplying first-class public goods is also of economic (as well as social) benefit. These free-market fetishists are probably beyond saving, but I don't know why conservatives in general can't see that having a healthy, well-educated, mobile and generally secure-feeling populace is a much better economic engine than driving them to the edge of desperation in the hope that they'll somehow graft and innovate their way out of it and that everyone will somehow feel the benefit.

Wonder how they really feel at the FT, lol
