@ramblinman: I don't really know much about things in the USA but here in the uk, the government are talking about how they will help out the poor people and those with minimal income, yet they are buying into privatized companies which were part of the government to begin with, then at the height of the "recession" the government spends 30million (plus) on a new stadium of the Olympics or whatever the hell it was.
The government privatize the OWN departments then fire people, then buy the departments back only to sell them to another company at lest than half the price they paid for it back.

@Notlikeothers: that sounds like a money game. Same bovine excrement private companies play at.

@ramblinman: yeah you should have heard the fuss about the RBS banks CEO that sparked outrage!!

@Notlikeothers: yeah, I think I remember hearing about that. I listen to the bbc quite a bit. I think all these putzes got off with way too much. It's all about big business and big money these days. They don't give a d@minute about the average working schmuck. If you don't have bank you aint sh!t.

You just gotta think at the end of the day a private company is always profit driven which might result in cuts to services there are arguments for both sides and i think it can be good but not for essential services

I can argue that because theyre profit driven, theyll strive to do a better job. We have too big a govt as it is.....here anyway.
