My big caveatot over a 5 year budget window is when you have to buy pensions out, I can see it not being cheaper. However when you start going out 10 and 20 years, I wonder if private really was the same price. I honestly think unless there is a spotted fire, only a police officer should call in rescue. I did not think about (even though I should know better with since I work some with trade unions) how expensive union rules can cost taxpayers.

I would add:

Have you ever accepted money to hold up and or stop a claim or accepted money to perform an audit that would not otherwise of been performed by normal section criteria for none "Conservative" organizations?

Have you ever accepted Sexual Favors in order to perform any function in your Job Capacity at the IRS?

 If she thinks it is embarrassing lets ask the most embarrassing questions possible.

Interesting I had a conversation with a guy at work a few weeks ago. His wife is the admin for the heads of the Fire Department of Lake County Florida. He told me they actually looked at privatizing and found it was not any cheaper.

Granted I don't know what the contract performance clauses were and if Lake County employees were held to the same standards. Nor the liability clauses and if Lake County had the same liability and if they calculated the counties self-insurance of the liabilities correctly. It would be interesting to look at the two and see if the analysis really was done correctly, or poison pill were put into the contract to purposely or just through incompetence that made it excessively expenses.  

Now prisons being privatized like the Governor here in Florida was trying to do. That I am against.  It ended being no cheaper and the correction system comes under the policing and Judicial powers of a state. There is no way in the world those functions should ever be privatized.

No she is our best populist, that is actually consentient in her beliefs. If she got some good media face time she would easily break-out again in popularity despite MSM being on the war path. Unlike Huckebee who is a populist in exile from the Democrat party when they had no room for the people like him starting in the 70's.

I really think some good populism that has sound intellect thought behind it is what our party needs. Raw logic and deep intellect arguments can only take you so far on the national scene now days. A good preacher of conservative values that knows how to work up a crowd is always a good thing if they are principled and consentient in the messages.

Two questions, what are the penilities for breaking the regulations, and how did UKIP vote (did they even have any members on the committee)?

 It was a sarcastic statement, I actually would'nt do that.  If I could actually pick the teacher my kids would have and it was not under a public school structure I have know many public teachers I would pay good money to teach my kids.  However, I would never send my children to a public school in the first place.

The whole structure is corrupt with good people like you fighting what is a losing battle because the foundational system is destructive and a few people in the right position can destroy your life time of work. In the end, each parent needs to take personal responsibility for educating their children and bypass the free system.

A Computer Science masters degree from one of the best engineering schools in the nation for 7k. Wow, and I thought my 13k (now over 20k 5 years later) MBA at UCF of which my company paid over half was cheap.

Yep: Federal Department of Education = Governmental Bureau for Indoctrination and Propaganda of Children.  A “Brave New World” here we come.

The problem is you are assuming they are actually collecting the important variables that education research indicates or has proven are critical. So since parental status has pretty much been shown , even by liberal education investigators, as the most important criteria for good educational out-comes. You would think collecting that data would be the most important personal information they would want to collect right? Wrong, you can't find the data in any database I have ever searched.

I for one really don't see any value in almost any comparative student performance education research, especially if it has anything to do with race or culture, if the study totally ignores who the illegitimately birthed students are and their performance.  

Ok the problem with Common Core is that it tries to implement a national "Common" education. Serious anyone who reads the good education literature will find many methods of education that have been highly successful. The idea that you can somehow implement the same formalistic based education model for 55 million school children, it just out right stupidity boarding on insanity, let alone tyrannical.

Now a national core of dumb education ideas that you should never try. That I could see being beneficial. Research in business has shown that successful businesses care more about and are good at not doing stupid things verse being good at implementing innovative ideas. I can pretty much grantee the same can be said for the Education industry.

It always seems teachers, education researchers and school boards always want to experiment and try out idea that have already failed numerous times and have never been proven successful. You know like not teaching phonics or putting the smartest kids with the dumbest kids in the same class.  

He is a staunch Christian also, got to love his bluntness. 

"Let us go forward headlessly torwards change that we can't see."

"It only took them  5 years to find out he was headless."

Are you mostly referring to cases were someone really is following a Jerrersonain/Madison Democrat idea therefore pretty much believe all power should be at the state level or local level and their argument is based on this underlying idea?

Then I agree they are miss using Federalism. There is a reason the party that opposed them were called Federalist.

However, pretty much in every other single case I can think of, using Federalism is correct when talking about policy, although it is more general and can be a less precise usage.

 No it only justifies them increase the taxes on the middle class and poor. The laffer curve indicates the rich are already on the decreasing Revenue side of the curve but everyone else is on the other side. In other words the laffer curve is all about regressive tax strucutres when it models our current tax structure.
