There's blood in the Republican waters

I can't think of one operation that our government runs efficiently. I stand by my convictions that the private sector is better equipped to run sh!t.

Post Office, Fire Departments, Police Departments, United States Armed Forces, USDA, CDC, NASA...

[The True Adonis]

National Park Service, National Guard.

[The True Adonis]

State University System-Department of Education

[The True Adonis]

Department of Transportation, Department of Energy, Department of the Treasury

Post Office, Fire Departments, Police Departments, United States Armed Forces, USDA, CDC, NASA...

My local post office has been closed for the last nine months due to remodeling. For the last four months there has not been one construction worker present. I saw a story last week on CNN that talked about how much money the US Postal Service has been losing each year. Fire and Police Dept.'s are run by local governments, not federal. As far as the armed services are concerned; I spent three months on a frigate patrolling the waters of South America for drug smugglers. Cost=$1,000,000 per day. Drugs seized = 0. I could go on, but the point is the private sector can ALWAYS do things better than the government. We should fix things ourselves. It's not up to some paternalistic deity in DC to run stuff.

[The True Adonis]

I could name HUNDREDS of instances of the effectiveness of Government departments.


Hundreds.  Do you think the private sector would care to inspect food or put a price limit on how much food costs?

I take it you forget about a dark time summed up in a little book call The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair.

Would you love to pay exorbitant prices to drive on a private road or charged by the mile? Privatization on a large scale only benefits the wealthy few or someone lucky enough to be born with means.  95 percent of this country is not wealthy.

Name one instance of the Private Sector outperforming a governmental one. 
FYI-
We run a business and ship everyday.  The USPS ALWAYS beats FedEx, UPS or any Private carrier. ALWAYS.  Thousand of packages sent, not one lost.  I can`t say the same for FEDex or UPS.

Simple question: which presidents have presided over the greatest expansion of the US national debt?

The government is not some foreign entity meant to be a separate antagonizer of the people.  The government is FOR the people and BY the people. When the government runs smoothly it works VERY well.

Republicans have.

You are way off base. Government=corruption and bureaucracy. If there is no competition, then there is no incentive to preform. How old are you dude?

The Department of Homeland Security is involved with budget appointments/approvals to local Police and Fire Departments.

Yeah, and clearly Republicans love big government (and stupid expenditures) and borrowing money to feed it.

Can you or can you NOT give me one instance where the Private Sector has outperformed a Governmental body in a specific and related area?

Government DOES NOT automatically equal corruption or bureaucracy.  Wouldn`t Enron or Halliburton have a bit more of that going on.

I fail to see any validity in any of your arguments nor have you proven any of your claims or statements with facts.  

You just are doing what everyone else does, myth-making and parroting a false talking point in the hopes that he who squawks the loudest is the supreme squawker.

You're wrong and you should study the Constitution (take a look at the Declaration of Independence while you are at it). Take a look at the private highway program in Texas. Competition is a good thing. If the government running economic matters worked so well, then what happened to communism?

[The True Adonis]

When you get a chance, look up the NIH, National Institute of Health.

This is one of THE BEST government run bodies which nearly ALL of medial research is conducted.  Certainly the most thorough accurate.

I can cite anything from the Constitution.  I suggest you take a deeper look at American History and what the Founders intended as well has how the zeitgeist has affected social and economic change.

The Declaration of Independence is just an open letter to King George stating soveriegnity and highlights the abuses of George`s monarchy.  Nothing more.

Who said anything about communism?

[calmus]

Take a look at the private highway program in Texas.

So you don't live in texas then. 

[Cardfan]

Communism is your stance taken to it's extreme. It doesn't work. You can't argue that it does.

I have never said that. Show me or prove that.  Why are you trying to talk about communism when nobody even mentioned it except yourself?

[Cardfan]

Whatever. My guest are arriving. I can't debate the merits of capitalism with you kid. Good luck. Enjoy your liberties.

I couldn't care less who's fucking who or whose daughter is pregnant or who's getting a blow job in the oval office.  Socialism is not the answer.  Hold your nose and vote Republican anyway.

holy shit, someone who knows something
