[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just post after post with the “open to work” logo from people who are highly qualified for jobs that don’t exist anymore. [b]All these people with fancy PhDs and highly specialized experience that I can’t imagine would be useful outside the federal government.[/b] I really hope that the private sector cuts them some slack.

That you can't see the irony in what you wrote here is astounding.[/quote]

NP and I don't see the irony.  The beauty of government jobs is that the mission can be helping people.  It doesn't have to be profit.  There are hundreds of thousands of professionals who have built specialized careers around helping people, and now their entire field is gone.  I see no irony in that.[/quote]

Dp. Your response makes me slide towards agreeing with the orange’s goal (still not the process).

A government’s job should be to support our society so it can become a better functioning society, eventually resulting in a better economic position. Not just ‘helping people.’  Helping people to what end that will benefit society as a whole?

That’s what the mission should be. [/quote]

Sure, who cares about food safety, curing cancer, feeding hungry kids, air traffic safety, consumer protection, hurricane detection, stopping the spread of bird flu, and all that kind of useless stuff. If the private sector ain't interested, it must be no good. Food companies can regulate themselves and bird flu - well, if we don't monitor it, it's not really happening, amirite?[/quote]

Yes, you’re right. You’re absolutely right! All these things CAN and SHOULD be privatized. [/quote]

If private sector would and could do it, and government is bad/inefficient at it, please explain why private sector is not already doing it. Economics says they should be filling the gap already.

(The answer is that private sector won't do it unless the government makes them.)[/quote]

Exactly.  GOP had been making the argument for decades and it is bunk, bunk, bunk.

The GOP are motivated by making the rich richer.  Cutting taxes.  No thought for the actual wellbeing of citizens.  The only reason people continue to vote for them is that they are better at selling their lies through effective propaganda.

I wish a Dem supporter would fill the gap and learn to make the truth and reason sexy enough for the ignorant public to buy in.  Sigh.[/quote]
