He suggested a federal/industry partnership for the NSF, not that the functions not be performed. For the CDC he suggested a partnership with foundations and state governments, not that the function performed by the CDC not be performed. I see no problem with any of this.
One of the functions you suggest is fire protection. In fact many voluteer fire departments accross the country are that type of partnership.
Nobody hates the private sector as much as Dems want to believe. Although you should title your diaries accurately. Typical lies from the Bennet campaign.
When the police get 911 calls, they can put their services out for competetive bid.
Rapist broke into your house? What’ll you pay us to show up? By the way, we’ve got a guy on the other line with an intruder in his garage. He’s worried about his golf clubs and will pay us $2000 to show up asap. You’re going to have to offer $2100 to stay in the game. What’s that? You’re a 25 year old school teacher and don’t have $2100? We’ll gladly take a credit card. No? Hmmm, sorry. Better luck next time.
(Hint: the more you pay, the faster we’ll get there!)
Socialism requires centralized government. The trains in Nazi Germany ran on time. I would prefer not to live in a place like that, but maybe that is just me. The Soviet Union had centralized control over all aspects of the economy. The economy evolved into a fraud and the country collapsed.
Many have concluded that the last two years of Democrat single party rule have given us a window into how, if unchecked, the “efficiency” of centralized government in the US might evolve. I think there will be a large number of people whose view of the world are more alligned with Washington and Jefferson who show up to vote and a much smaller number of people whose world view is shaped by the efficiency of socialism.
Science seems to be well served in both settings. The scientific accomplishements of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were certainly impressive. I cherish my freedom more than I care for the increased efficiency that socialism promises, but historically has not delivered.
and are a Republican. If anyone ever advanced the Fascist agenda since the Nazis, it was George Bush.
“A” fascist agenda — there have been more than one.
Nancy, you are using a slippery slope argument that holds no water. As H-Man correctly pointed out Buck is not calling for the end of the services and functions of these government run entities but for a partnership where the executive direction is controlled by the private sector.
That point of view is by no means a suggestion that you build your own road into your neighborhood and you know it. Just because you’re offering to write checks to people for making phone calls doesn’t mean you have to be a mindless mouthpiece for the Bennet campaign. Use your brain and stick with logical argument and your means would be better served.
