on the other hand though, thanks for giving me my political cartoon of the day to start my class off w/ tomorrow!

 

medicare and medicaid would work if they were funded, right? senior citizens aren't rioting in the walkers in the street b/c the service sucks.

 

social security is broke b/c a long line of presidents n' congress stole from it to fund their needs at the time

 

the post office is broke b/c only advertisers use it and the rest use this radical new thing called email

 

amtrak is broke b/c no one rides trains

 

fannie mae and freddie mac were part of the giant housing bubble, so that's why they went broke

 

the 1.6 t budget deficit is thoroughly fucked and should, as prole's pie chart shows, be principally addressed by dramatically reducing hte size of the american military empire

The choice between having healthcare run by government incompetents or corporate felons seems like an easy one to me.

i'll take the lasagna!

 

+1

hey, you're not allowed to agree w/ me! :)

 

lasagna, in this case for me, is the hybrid option of both public and private health care.

All these gov't programs are flawed and always will be. When broke, they are propped up by the taxpayers, no matter the cost. A business would never survive this way, but a gov't agency, of course, always does.

social security would not have been broke if it hadn't been robbed (or if a couple extra assholes in florida coulda voted for somebody other than the governor's brother :) )

What's wrong with the postal service again?

its broke, b/c it has a huge infrastructure from the pre-email days. it provides a service that historically was a goverment one and wasn't inescapably fucked, as kk's last post generally said was true of all public enterprises. the PO should stick around too, it just needs to shrink to fit the time and if in fact private enterprises can out-perform it even then, okay it makes sense for it to die (sure will piss of the philogists or whatever the hell they're called though)

AIG is a modern manifestation of our recent moves towards totalitarianism. It should make a statist like you happy.

I don't care if it's broke. What's wrong with the service?

But if there is any grain of truth to your point about corporate statism, it would certainly cleave more closely to your side of the ideological spectrum than mine.
