it is not the mold or paint on the walls at Walter reed.

that is what the neocons want the story to be..

the real story is the contracting out of vital services in our military.

neocon political appointed thugs who regularly refuse disability claims and deny ptsd claims. cowards who never served, shitting all over our troops and veterans.

our military can't even feed itself anymore. even water is provided by contractors.

we don't take care of our own anymore, we have neocon appointed contractors doing the least possible throughout every agency of our government.

unite against the neocons.

1. Absolutely, I Agree 100%

It is the "CEO" mentality that permeates every aspect of the * administration with its stench.

"Run it like a business." Have you ever taken a good hard look at the bastards who run our nation's businesses?

Here in Phoenix, we have a sterling example in US Airways chief Doug Parker. Fixed America West Airlines, made it financially viable, solved all of the labor problems, got in good with the pilots' union, got it operating like a pretty well-oiled machine. Nice new airplanes. New routes. Jobs all over the place.

Then he got delusions of grandeur and "acquired" US Airways. Screw the America West name, and the loyalty of a city of six million people. All of the employees who stuck with AWA through its darkest days (of which there were many many many). All the good that he did was almost instantly negated by his clawing for more more more. Now we have a piece of shit airline again with desperately unhappy employees and dissatisfied customers. All for the glorification of one man and his ego.

Rich White Men run businesses here, and I don't trust Rich White Men as far as I can throw them. History gives them zero credibility.

2. Absolutely not. The story is the neglect of wounded vets.

The secondary story of yet another generation of politicians lining the pockets of friends and supporters.

5. Privatization = more death, more suffering, higher bills.

We need to reverse the trend of privatizing everything. It's wrong. It hurts. It doesnt' do what It's suppose to.

6. Beg to differ

It does do what it's supposed to. It makes the rich richer at the expense of everybody else. That's what it's supposed to do, and it does it very well. Of course that's not how it's advertised. But we all know that advertisers lie.

7. Outsourcing or privatization we have been through this before

it is called patronage. The privitaization of government services is nothing but a pantonage mill!
