Why is it democrats go to the extreme in every argument. Someone says

Why is it Republicans want to privatize just about everything? If you
want to ensure crappy services on which the public depends, then turn it
over to some for-profit corporation. That's especially true in areas
such as food inspections, and there are many others.

Kind of like that well oiled machine called the IRS and the Postal
Service, right?

Both of which work reasonably well.
