Our research shows that asset recycling is very often used in order to privatize. It's kind of a back door to privatization. It's sold as something to increase efficiencies. We would sell something that has a revenue stream to the private sector and then we get more money to make more investments. Very often the theory behind that is that the private sector can do it more efficiently. The way that the private sector does things more efficiently is by lowering wages and benefits to workers or by adding fees for users. Either we're not getting the service that we need or the workers aren't getting a fair shot, so we think that it's better to find other ways to raise money to invest in the public infrastructure that we need.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. This seems like it's too good to be true, so it is.
