This will most likely happen this week.

Or we could get a forced 44% cut instantly. Either way, this government is going to be slashed mercilessly and funding will be forced to go to necessary functions rather than the fluff. The government should be privatizing services at this point.

When will they understand that nobody owns their own property? We are merely renting from the government under the guise of "taxes". Any privatization would be under a similar agreement. The government still owns everything and controls critical functions through regulation, why not charge people rent instead of running it yourself? Generate revenue, create growth potential... Win,Win
Profit does not equal better. There are many systems and services which cannot be properly utilized with a system of competition due to practical reasons. Without competition, no growth can be formed, even if there is lots of profit to be had.

Of course, why am I even bothering to say any of this. You are so off the deep end in thinking that the man who is holding the country hostage to satisfy some ideology is "impressive" and that somehow there is no private property in America anymore. Reality check bro.
