Free markets should be allowed to rule, and if they can do it cheaper somewhere else, that's all that matters. Outsourcing is just part of capitalism.<BR/><BR/>2. Government is completely incompetent, and as the Bush administration has demonstrated, could fuck up a one-car parade. Therefore, we must rely on private businesses to do the work for us.<BR/><BR/>All that matters is the bottom line. Sure, NYC may get nuked as a result, but think of all the money we'll save until then? Money that can then be directed back to the richest 1% of Americans.<BR/><BR/>Here endeth the lesson.Otto Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051682366565874144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-1140200161828312842006-02-17T13:16:00.000-05:002006-02-17T13:16:00.000-05:00Middle-East particulars aside, and let's assume th...Middle-East particulars aside, and let's assume they actually get their shit together, can anyone tell me why<B> <I>an American company isn't getting this contract, or (gasp) an actual government entity is perfoming these duties?!?!</I></B>Mr Furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781439243585972721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-1140199910403656132006-02-17T13:11:00.000-05:002006-02-17T13:11:00.000-05:00I'm sure the Malkins are going to denounce the Bus...I'm sure the Malkins are going to denounce the Bush administration for this any minute now...teh l4m3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10982909927895165627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-1140199274798527652006-02-17T13:01:00.000-05:002006-02-17T13:01:00.000-05:00Here's what happened when my favourite columnist w...Here's what happened when my favourite columnist went on Bill O'Reilly:<BR/><BR/>http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/TPStory/LAC/20040501/MALLICK01/TPComment/Columniststoobusylivinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15082285798028945625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-1140199182139435742006-02-17T12:59:00.000-05:002006-02-17T12:59:00.000-05:00You guys are just lucky that volunteer minuteman a...You guys are just lucky that volunteer minuteman are patrolling the canada/us border...at least you are safe from us.......toobusylivinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15082285798028945625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-1140197144023857002006-02-17T12:25:00.000-05:002006-02-17T12:25:00.000-05:00I'm glad Peter King is in on this.
