6. Rmoney: "And if you can go even further and send it back to the private sector, that’s even better.”

Yes, because the private sector did such a bang up job in Iraq. Showers that electrocuted soldiers...no-bid contracts that cost way more than they should have...lost money...

SOMEONE is still going to have to PAY for these services. Where is the money going to come from? The states can't afford it on their own, so it ultimately comes back to the federal government, only they will pay the private sector much more to do the work.

Mitt Romney is always looking out for #1 (percent) and to hell with everyone else. I'm stunned that there are people stupid enough to vote for this man. He's a documented liar, which in my book makes him unqualified for President.
