Yep IP, just like those morons trying to privatize the post office. Instead of just shutting them down, they stick
'em in the back, making them pay 75 years of benefits in 10 years.. They are working on SS disability now in
the same fashion, which will graduate to regular SS. I'm grand fathered in, what are you guys going to do when they
raise retirement to a minimum of 70?

Here in PA, they privatized our turnpike. Every year we have to pay 10% more in fees. More if you pay cash.
Less with easy pass, because they want to do away with the union and people in general.

Govt keeps costs down to consumers and provides a living wage to those who work for them. Govt isn't
supposed to show a profit. If it did, there wouldn't be a need to privatize.

Unless there's a competition for employees and their product, people won't make a living wage. Even if there is,
wages won't go up because of market standard.

That's where you and the Repubs are confused. Profit. The govt is not there to be ran as a business, it's there
to protect it's people.
