1. City and state governments are short on cash and need more money to pay for welfare programs.
2. The can't raise taxes because most people don't want these increases.
3. They can auction off public properties like roads and airports to private companies to get cash now.
4. We'll pay ever increasing tolls and surcharges.
5. The money these governments receive will be wasted in a couple of years anyway and they'll be demanding more tax dollars anyway.
