Roads and electric power are the most delicious achievable targets right now. Private business wants desperately to get their hands on those public assets. Of course. Duh.

What would be even better is water supply. If oxygen had to be delivered to people as a service that would be the PERFECT industry to privatize but sadly, oxygen is in the atmosphere and readily available to everyone for free.

Still, that leaves roads, electric power and water supply.

Salt would be a good one, but it would be difficult to create a monopoly on that. So....back to roads, electric power and water. The most tantalizing industries for private business.

Of course, there are folks who think private business will not gouge the public. Yeah, right. That same group also believes that private industry can turn the mandatory 16% profit while also reducing costs. Riiiiigggghhhht......
