SoutherDem
SoutherDem's JournalSo the answer is privatize everything?
On Diane Rehm there is a jackass from the Cato Institute whose answer for all our problems is privatize everything.
I know I am a slow dumb southerner, but with privatization comes profits. If you privatize a department make a profit and save money just what are we cutting?
I think of education in for profit schools, profits come first the students come second. If we privatize government profits come first and the American citizens come second. Pure and simple.
Please help jar my memory
Has there ever been a piece of legislation voted in by an elected congress signed by an elected President challenged in the courts and upheld by the SCOTUS yet over and over challenged by the losing party. The same legislation being the major achievement of the President who is reelected and yet the losing party still challenges the legislation and then because the minority can't get it's way shuts down the government?
Is this democracy? Is this the way America should work?
Maybe we need to play hard ball. Shut down what Republicans love. Close the NSA, bring EVERY American service member home, close the airports in other words hurt the Republicans not just Americans.
A question for Republicans
IF the ACA is SO bad??? Why not pass a clean budget? Let it go into full effect, you have proven you don't like it, so now you can say you were forced, then stand back and watch it fail. When it does be there to clean up the pieces and have the House, Senate and POTUS for decades to come.
Is it because you know it WON'T fail?
Is it because you know it will be good for America?
It it because you know it will be the death nail for your party?
The Republican party is acting like a suicide bomber willing to die to get their way.
At this point I fear it is The USA or the Republicans. And I honestly don't know who will win.
I think I need a program
So was the sequester Obama's or not?
Republicans can't seem to decide if the sequester is their idea or Obama's. Days before when we didn't know the effects Obama's, when the world didn't crash Republican's. Slowing recovery Obama's. Now I just heard some Republican Senator once again take credit for it.
Edit:
They can't even decide on the amount. I have heard as little as 2% and as much as 15%. Spin, Spin, Spin.
A curiosity question
Recently there have been several posts discussing gun regulation and open verse concealed carry in both the control forum and this one. I have noticed occasionally someone will state point blank they want all guns banned. I realize that opinion without a doubt exists. So here are my questions for those who have this opinion.
How would you get it?
How exactly would it work?
Will it make a difference?
What about possible consequences?
