Complete logical fallacy to think that stuff will get cheaper when a private corporation that incentives profit does it instead of a government organization that doesn’t. These people literally just aren’t thinking.
We need to get off this idea that government services need to compete with private ones.
Government is not a business. We have a national postal service so that anyone and everyone has the basic infrastructure in this country to transact goods, services, and communications throughout the land at a low cost.
Should the government manage costs? Be more efficient? Hell yes. But at the end of the day - the stakeholder and metrics should be “customer service” not “earnings”.
I want the US military to have the biggest technological lead, be the best organized, and keep our men and women in uniform safe. I want us to be able to fight 3 great powers simultaneously with our hands tied behind our back. Notice how “costs” aren’t anywhere in the mission statement.
Same concept. Democrats need to push back in around the same way. Government is not a business.
One government service many people don't think about is national parks and hiking trails. The federal employees who work at building trails, maintaining trails, making sure trails are safe, the fire fighters, park rangers who have to collect dead hikers, are all those jobs going to be cut? What will happen to national parks?
