De Blasio Trolls Upper East Side On The Daily Show, Says He'll Unleash Locusts On The Neighborhood en-us Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 20:30:38 -0500 Linette Lopez kennymac Tue, 04 Feb 2014 13:58:03 -0500 Scratch a Progressive, find a bully. Their whole agenda is about forcing people to comply with their ideology. Synchronism Tue, 04 Feb 2014 12:25:12 -0500 Every time the Gov Fcks something up, there is a private company making money. Sometimes the Gov person was making a bad call. Company still made money. Sometimes the Company was making bad calls. Company still made money. Those of you who think getting rid of the Gov guy -- what will you then do when the company makes bad calls and still makes money? I'm so tired, so sick to death of hearing right wingers two main queries / laments: What happened to people who work for the Fed Government for the good of the Country? Why don't we have the government do ONLY what private companies cannot do? I don't know if those two questions are asked because the right wingers are that ignorant, or that they are hoping we are that ignorant. It was a republican idea to move every last thing, that could be done by private companies, out of the government and to private companies. Now we have answers to both right wing laments: 1) The vast majority of people doing Fed Government work, are doing so as part of a private company, any one of whose managers will tell you that they are in business "to make money". Note the lack of "for the good of the country" 2) WE ALREADY HAVE done that, and the right wingers are still lamenting about things, so how are we better off, and why do they keep asking why we Don't do this?
