Sure, we got a real efficient war going in Iraq: shifting billions of tax payer dollars to private corporations, paying their employees 4 or 5 times what one of our soldiers makes, and supporting their PR branches to lobby for a longer war, permitting their failures which endanger & kill our troops: NOT TO MENTION PUTTING THOUSANDS OF US TROOPS & IRAQI CITIZENS IN HARMS WAY!

And its really great forward looking efficiency to decrease funding available for Community Colleges & Technical Colleges, while at the same time increasing the length of prison sentences for youthful drug offenders.

The real issue here, is what sort of Nation do we want to be? It may be an unpopular thing to say, but capitalism in a democratic nation should have limits. Profit is the driving force behind capitalism: the public wellfare must be the driving force within a democracy: without a vibrant society to serve & sell thing to, corporations would be non-exsistent. ....pjwky
