They have a solid plan, de-fund government programs then complain how
Edited on Fri Mar-25-11 12:26 PM by Bandit
inefficient those programs have become, and that they need to be privatized..Break the Unions and then start on Minimum Wage requirements..There is nothing new here except their need to do it ASAP. They know they are a dwindling group, that the young are very much more liberally minded and their day will soon be over. It is a now or never attitude they have and if not stopped somehow, we are going to lose stuff we can NEVER regain.. Once assets are sold off, they are gone...State Parks, Schools, Hospitals, anything and everything will be sold into Private hands, or should I say sold for pennies on the dollar, or given away...This is the final call for Unions to stand up and speak or forever be silenced..and I don't just mean a talk show appearance by Trumpka or some such. I mean shut the fucking place down. Create some pain or forget all about it..

1. That seems to be the plan.
IF they can't be stopped--because this shit is flying in at warp speed--there IS one recourse.

Eminent domain can be used for the property that is sold off. They can be paid back EXACTLY what they paid for it.

The resources that are sold off can be nationalized.

There are fixes to the problems.

It won't be easy--but it can be fixed.

2. K&R- Kill the government's best programs, then say that government does not work...
GOPers are not stupid...they are EVIL.

4. They've been doing that for decades now.
Cut taxes, spend a few trillion on unnecessary invasions and occupations and then bitch about rising deficits as they saddle future admins with $400,000,000,000 in just interest payments.

5. Come now ... you can get a full tank of gas and four new tires in 15 seconds ...
talk about efficiency ...

of course, there's a whole team for each car in the NASCAR pits, and they get paid pretty good for being that efficient ...

But then you have all kinds of people complaining about the BMV ... but if you wanted more people so that the processes would go faster, then you'd have the same people complaining about all the "waste" and duplication of services and the costs to the taxpayers ...

:silly:
