Description
One government service after another has been turned over to private business for a profit. In this program, Bill Moyers Journal and Expose: America's Investigative Reports examine a whistleblower's tale of military housing contracts gone awry as Seattle Post-Intelligencer reporter Eric Nalder reveals what happens when one private contractor drops the ball. In addition, Bill Moyers talks with New York Governor David Paterson about how states are coping with the economic crisis and checks in with author Sarah Chayes on the state of affairs in America's "other war"-the one in Afghanistan-as the Obama administration prepares to take control of the White House.
