Teahaddist Rethugs Want to Privatize Air Traffic Control

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/03/25/1373232/-Republicans-want-to-privatize-air-traffic-control

snip:
Here's a great Republican idea: Let's privatize air traffic control. Don't you want corporate profits to be a factor in your safety in the air?

First, Rethugs institute budget uncertainty and cuts to the air traffic control system and then blame them when they can't modernize their equipment. Yeah, I want the Koch brothers in charge of landing airplanes at the lowest possible cost. Prediction: instead of dropped calls we get dropped aircraft with more crashes then a non-tax payer bailed out Wall Street.
