It doesn't matter who we vote for, they are all just as stupid with money.
Your statements seem contradictory. You wrote, "It [privatization] can never work because private companies need to make a profit, which defeats the whole idea of getting cheaper services."
And then you wrote, "It doesn't matter who we vote for, they are all just as stupid with money."
The reason it doesn't matter who you vote for is because government has no competition - government services are by and large monopolies. The monopolies governments guard the most are the monopolies on use of violence, coercion and printing the money.
With out competition, monopolies increase prices and costs, they stagnant with regards to quality. There is no incentive to improve their services, their incentive becomes to capture regulation of government and soak up as much of the national treasury as they can.
You vote for one group or the other, each of which is willing to buy your votes for the taxes of another group or more deficit financing using endlessly printed fiat debt money.
And then, when things fall to ****, and the money is worthless, every one complains and points fingers at everyone else. People need to stop giving power to governments and stop giving it to people that want it. Take care of your self and tell the governments of the world to **** off. |

And then watch the worlds infistructure drop to bits and the rule of law vanishes. Someone needs to run countries to make civilisation work.
Do you really need the government to wipe your nose for you? Take care of you, tell you what you can eat, what you can smoke, what you can say? |

Do you not need the government to defend your country from foreign invasion, provide schools, or invest in things like road building or power generation?
Since when are medical services and national defense the same thing? Because people want national defense, they also must want th government to wipe their nose as well?
As for schools, I see room for both government and private. The problems come when national government attempts to regulate and force payments. Governments hate competition. As for roads, they can be owned by local governments. Do you really need a national highway board to tell your town just what it needs to do? |

Quite true. Monetary arguments are over looked by most people, few people understand the scam that is fiat debt money. |

NHS is not the devil, government is. The inevitable outcome of over regulation is nationalization. The cure is lassie fare liberalism in the classic sense, that is the principle upon with the United States was founded. It is the betrayal of that principle the so called right-wing doesn't like. Sadly most of the right wing neo-cons, which are really globalist left leaning Fascists with guns, have no problem with war and devalued currency being the primary exports. |
