I want the government to do what needs doing. If they can do it at a lower cost than I can do it on my own...I'm all for it
If I can get cheaper education through the government than the private sector...I'm all for it
If I can get cheaper healthcare through the government than the private sector...I'm all for it
We the people are a very large group. If we can get together and get better deals than the private sector is offering, then I am all for it
Did you want to give an example of what the government does cheaper than the private sector? I'd LOVE to hear what that is, Winger!
Education, healthcare, infrastructure, public services, transportation
USPS
Education - we have the most expensive schools in the west and the worst results in the west. Nice job there
healthcare - Obamacare proves you wrong
infrastructure - government builds zero infrastructure, they buy it from private companies who bid to do the work and fill the coffers of the politicians who hire them
public services - such as?
transportation - what does that mean?
1.
Top Public Schools | National Universities | US News Best Colleges
Note: I graduated from #1, my wife from #11;
2. Medicare and Obamacare provide life saving care at a cost no single average American could afford;
3. Infrastructure is contracted out to the private sector, to do otherwise would actually be Socialism;
4. Public Services such as the FBI, ATF, Probation, Environmental Protection, Water and Sewage, Fire, Policing and Emergency Medical Treatment, and many many more;
5. Transportation, Airports, the highway system, local roads, public transportation in terms of buses, streetcars, subways (BART, DART, The Metro, etc.)
One reason the Art. of Confederation failed was transportation, migrants from the east seeking fertile lands would need to pay tolls from dozens of private concerns on private roads, ferries or crossings on waterways and private lands, dozens of times. Most unreliable in terms of days or hours of operation and conditions for travel.
