The ultimate purpose of government is to protect the citizens from crime and invasion. Both are areas where democrats are completely not up to the job. It can be paid for partly by prison labor.
so that's a yes to bigger government, which means higher taxes. and that's also a yes to for-profit prisons.
how does prison labor pay for all this?
we already have the largest prison population in the world (and the largest per capita prison population). why is that not helping?
how do we fund the infrastructure if, for example, we double or triple the prison population? how do we fund the court system that would face a deluge of constant appeals and parole hearings? how do we pay for more corrections officers? food service?
I'm going way out on a limb here and saying that you really haven't thought this through, beyond the Fox News headline you're probably parroting.
