that would make sense. Private business actually feels the sting of poor spending, where government doesn't. If a government plan doesn't work, the senators and representatives still have a job making over 100k per year. If a private business's idea fails, they can potentially go out of business, or they have to lose employees. This is the argument of capitalism vs. socialism. to me, capitalism means "survival of the fittest, and 'hopefully' the fittest will have enough compassion for the unfit after payday" to me, socialism means "everyone gets a payday, no matter how fit you are, we just have to figure out how to get that money from the fittest" (in case you don't recognize, i'm not really assuming that either will work out perfectly, I think people fight for the one that corresponds to the type of person they are. I, personally, could live with either system.) seekliberation
