Education - we have the most expensive schools in the west and the worst results in the west. Nice job thereDid 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
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.
My oldest daughter is at Berkley now getting her PhD in French. As for your points:
1) Education. A list of ranking of public universities proves what exactly? Think about it. And OBVIOUSLY I was referring to public schools, not public universities which are more of a hybrid of funding.
2) Health care. It's financially destroying us and getting worse, you call that a success? Of course you do, we're more dependent on government
3) Infrastructure. Roads are not socialism, you're stupid as shit. Central economic planning is socialism. Roads don't control the economy. When asked to defend socialism, you dim wits constantly go to roads. You want roads! Do you ya! You get SOCIALISM. Bam!
4) Again, most of that is infrastructure even a small government libertarian supports, you set such a high bar for yourself. Law enforcement and management of limited resources can only be done if everyone recognizes a central decision making authority. it's why i'm not an anarchist. Your constant desire to defend the most basic services of government to justify your Marxist ideology is just butt stupid
5) Back to roads! Again, small government libertarians support those. Oooohhhhh, you're a genius. Not
1. Public schools allow everyone to attend, private schools restrict enrollment and thus any comparison is an apples to antelope fallacy; A thread on public education is a worthwhile one, if the bigots can be restricted (much like a private school, too many threads are destroyed by idiots and bigots).
2. You have no credible evidence to support this allegation.
Obamacare’s projected cost falls due to lower premiums under health care law, CBO says
3. Word Salad. Roads allow for the movement of goods; and roads provide a means for services to be rendered (you can't bring your plumbing or electrical problem to Wal-Mart or buy a new roof there). Whenb adverse weather impacts transportation the economy stalls.
4. More or less word salad, using Marxism as a pejorative is a usual response by the far right when they have no evidence to support their ideas (dogma); In fact transportation suffers as a direct result of the dogma that taxes are bad, and more taxes are worse. Consider only public transportation, if properly funded several variable need to be considered: 1. Sur taxes on Gas will fall; the use of gas will be reduced; less cars on the roads reduce maintenance costs for roads and bridges, fewer accidents will reduce the costs to first responders reducing the need to raise taxes by local government and building inter ana intra fast, clean and reliable transit (BART, DART, The Metro, etc.) provides jobs and creates transportation villages along their route. Your (& others) myopia is what holds progress back.
5. Gee, good for you. How do small government dogmatists justify such a heresy?
"...using Marxism as a pejorative is a usual response by the far right ...."
Although it is only March.....this may be the winner in the annual "Stupidest Poster of the Year."
Either he doesn't know what pejorative means.....
.....or he doesn't know that Marxism was and is responsible for more death and destruction than any other ideology in the history of the world.
Congrat on your big win.
