Problems with construction and maintenance in some newer privatized military family housing call into question the success of the Defense Department’s major initiative to improve housing for military families, according to a new report.
A new investigation by Reuters published Friday centers mostly on some families at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, but builds on the news organization’s previous investigations into Army and Marine Corpsprivatized family housing.
“What the Pentagon touts as privatization’s signature achievement — the building of new housing for military families — is marred by faulty construction and poor upkeep,” the report found.
There has been “limited federal oversight and little accountability” for the companies that have taken over the responsibility of operating the housing.

Unfortunately America is so far down the privatization rabbit hole it’s going to take a long time to correct if we ever get the chance….

We know how that works.
I would like to remind you that U.S. health insurance companies do not contribute anything to health care. They are only a PARASITIC middle man receiving an undeserved cut of "FREE MONEY".

I sympathize with the contractors because I have built a house myself. It’s hard! You have to pay attention, do things the right way, not be drunk or stoned all the time. Did you know a 2 by 4 is not really 2 inches by 4 inches? It’s 1.5 inches by 3.5 inches. Bet you didn’t know that, Mr. Smartypants liberal snowflake! You think YOU could deal with that, Ms. Collegegirl, with your degree in sociology and black studies? Didn’t think so. MAGA!
