Teahaddist Rethugs Want to Privatize Air Traffic Control
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/03/25/1373232/-Republicans-want-to-privatize-air-traffic-controlsnip:
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.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
