socialistexan:theonecalledpreposterous:That’s what Republicans do though. They underfund or put ridiculous burdens on governmential agencies so that they’ll be less efficient then turn around and say, “see, government is inefficient, we need to privatize everything.” They did this with the US Postal Service, too. Congressional Republicans passed the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 which says that that USPS had to fund retirement pensions not just for their current employees, but any potential employees, for the next 80 years. It has caused an incredible financial mess of the USPS, which Republicans then used to slash USPS’s funding, causing more ineffiency and help further privatize the shipping industry. The VA is another example. State governments do this with public education and infrastructure, too. -- source link
