We already have privatized schools and health care.

Charter schools = privatized schools where the wealthy send their kids to mingle with other wealthy kids because they don't want them socializing with the dregs in the public schools. Talk about 1950s style segregation, except this time it is by class, not race.

Health insurance = privatized health care. Luckily, I do have health insurance at the cost of a higher salary. Take away my health bennies and I would be making $5 to 10 more per hour. I feel sorry folks on Medicaid, which is the US version of healthcare for poor people.

Medicare and Social Security plus a Conservative = Convenient Socialist. I love how these Conservative Republican folks rant over the deficit and fawn over Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh in a restaurant, but forget how someone like me sitting in the booth behind them and sighing at their every deluded word is paying for their Social Security and Medicare.They sure as hell did not work long enough to be drawing benefits for as long as they have. If they were such Conservatives then they would agree with this:

You get what you put in. You pay in for 20 years and retire at 60 then you should not be receiving Social Security or Medicare past age 80.

Charity replacing Social Security? How did that work before and during the Great Depression? Yeah, uh huh chin check baby!
