Participant[quote=Nor-LA-SD-guy] What about privatizing the Fire department they do it with Libraries etc[/quote]
If a Fire Department is a private company, their sole worries are their bottom line, shareholders, and profit, not you or your safety.
Would you want a Fire Department determining that your house and family is not worth the cost to their bottom line? Sounds a lot like the healthcare industry.

Participant[quote=meadandale]During the decade of the 90’s, the decade after I graduated college, jobs in my industry at the time were hard to come by and salaries were stagnant; I was paid the same in 1990 as I was paid in 1999.[/quote]
I’m sorry you had trouble in the 90’s, it looks like I was wrong. The 90’s were horrible for the economy.
