Übergeek 바둑이: Yes! All of it! It is all done so inefficiently! I could deal with compromise! I don't expect to not pay any taxes. I work hard (as do most people) and I don't want my money squandered. There are SO many things that the US govt has their hands in, where it just doesn't belong. Some things could certainly be done on a more local level. (State/County/City)
Obviously that wouldn't include military. That NEEDS to be federal. It's one of the parts that bothers me least, personally.
I'm just disgusted by the waste. That infuriates me. If I waste my own money, I pay for it dearly. But that's just it. I personally wasted it. Someone else wasting my money? No thanks.
Personally, I'm fine with how healthcare always has been, for the most part. There are things that need looking at, of course! But for the government to basically take it over? No no! It's going to become a mess. And DEFINITELY if it means gourmet menus in hospitals, free room and board for relatives in there, and 3 day stays for relatively minor procedures!
And you say historically, privatization has not always been the best solution. Well, I'd say government bureaucracy has been the best solution even less. (Hmm, really bad sentence)
