“Something had to be done because the postwar boom was over and we didn’t have money for all those social programs”
That’s because the tax rates for rich people were dropped, and capital gains taxes dropped, and housing programs were ended.
“Yeah, well, the private sector is way more efficient anyways and we needed to get government out of it”
Sure, adding a layer of profit skimming always makes things cheaper. Are you always this bad at math? Nurse + doctor + bed = hospital cost. Nurse + doctor + profiteering = hospital cost + profiteering
In 2026, you don’t need the nurse, doctor, or bed anymore because the profiteering is entirely speculation and stock manipulation, and the selling of a product or service isn’t even necessary. In fact, customers are completely irrelevant. That’s why prices keep going up - it doesn’t matter if you sell anything, as long as you convince investors to keep pumping money in. It’s an incestuous oroboros of providing nothing and creating power and money out of thin air.

Fucking neocons.
This is a 2000s argument.
