RE:RE:Economics 101 - Not PoliticsThis will be my last comment on this because you need an education. The Pentagon just failed their 7th straight audit! They can't account for all of their $824 billion budget and that's ONE department. So listen to your left wing 'commentators' who try to diminsh anyone trying to do the right thing all you want but there was a commission in the 80's looking at this and while it never went anywhere they came up a number of $400 billion of waste they could cut, which has been estimated as about $2T in today's money. It can be done it just means a bunch of lifelong fat cat politicians won't get as rich and they exist on both sides. They laughed at Trump recently when he said FEMA was abandonding hurricane victims based on ideology and it turns out he was right. I guess it comes down to how many lies are you willing to accept in the name of your side 'winning'? For me it's zero.

Your logical and sincere statement of economic facts is a thinly-veiled pitch to hand over complete control of every aspect of society to billionaires and wealthy corporations.
For-profit healthcare has repeatedly been found to offer lower quality for a lot more money. This is what you want for the whole country. A country is not a business. Government debt (which GOP clowns caused to skyrocket) is not the same as personal debt. Students are not widgets. You continue to buy into the myth of private sector efficiency. Such eloquent rationalizing of authoritarianism.
