This is a valid concern, as the government has a responsibility to provide essential services to its citizens. Selling profit-making public sector units to private companies could generate revenue that could be used to fund these programs.<\/p>\n<p>Argument II is weak because it is based on the premise that private companies will not be able to run these units effectively.
