I hear this line way too much. The post office does a good job, their rate increases have about kept pace with inflation. UPS and FedEx only take the cream business. Likewise, HMOs cherry pick the healthiest, lowest risk clients.

We can see what privatization has done to military action. BW, ne Xe is filled with yay-hoo, neo crusaders. H./KBR builds showers that electrocuted 13 GIs and many buildings that private contractors have built in Iraq are junk from opening day.

Before public education in this country, only the elite had anything but the most basic education.

WE are the govt. Abuses such as at Fannie and Freddie should never have happened. We need to put safeguards, watchdogs, and checks and balances in place to stop such nonsense.
