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. |

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. I only have to point to the failures in the government system. If "the system" worked as is, we would not be talking about salmonella and E-coli poisoning almost every week. The publicizing of these incidents and the bad press for the company involved is a far greater impact than any sanction the government is likely to impose. Companies try to keep their products safe because the market will punish them if they don't, not because of a government inspector sitting in an office somewhere updating his fantasy baseball team. There are failures in every system, including among the companies that "try to keep their products safe," and those that cut whatever corners they can to save a buck. We simply don't have nearly enough government food inspectors at any level. We try to do just about everything in this country on the cheap. |

So, all of a sudden you expect the gov't to be perfect. Wow. It must be imperfect because Obama is in office. No it has always been imperfect. Obama is just more of the same. I see little difference between any of the Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama administrations. For that matter It has not really changed much since Eisenhower left. He's not even close to being "more of the same." Just because YOU don't see much difference does not make that a fact. Feel free to vote for Eisenhower's daughter. Oh wait, she doesn't want to have anything to do with GOP. |
