Redo privatization [View all]

Here's a job program that doesn't need an approval from Congress. When all these overpriced federal contracts come up for renewal in each dept. cancel them and start hiring American people at decent middle class wages.

For example,I remember reading that Edward Snowden (a hero) was making $200,000/year as a privatized NSA employee. We could turn his job into FOUR #50,000/yr jobs with federal benefits which people can raise a middle class family. Don't forget about the pay of the executives and board of directors that skim millions off the top. The spy agencies and Defense dept.would be good places to start and maybe taking a new perspective on the banking industry.

These would be good American jobs that won't fly over to Vietnam.

After decades of corporate media propaganda labeling government as the inept Keystone Cops that must privatize everything to function, it is time to reverse this nonsense. The banking industry sent us into a depression and we're on the verge of another. The privatized aerospace industry is crashing rockets into the desert after NASA retired shuttles that took us into space.

I remember growing up and realizing that if I took a govt. job I would probably never get rich, but I could be secure and safe from poverty.

If we privatize anything, start giving priority and funding to workers co-ops
