might i suggest you folks throw in tearing up the national highway system and have it replaced by a privately run national tollway system. market forces really ought to be able to do a better job than the travesty we're now saddled with. market forces are the solution to all problems after all.

the reality is that yes, all those systems would be handled better by the private sector. no doubt, all of them.
where would you draw the line? can you not see that the line keeps moving and that one by one our freedoms are disappearing and they're creating a system that traps people in a dependent status, forever relying on the government? all in the name of fairness and equality. i've seen this plan before, it's been tried, and it doesn't work. It doesn't end well.
so your idea is let's go for the full monty, lets do it all. we'll get our jobs, cars, health care, food, housing and all other rations directly from uncle sam?
