Why do we think they know what is best for the country? Counter intuitive to me. Sounds like a worse track record than even the post office. We love to think they are the backbone of the country but the failure rate seems to say something else entirely.

That's the American spirit
! Why even bother taking a risk to better yourself or get out from under an employer, you're going to fail anyway!
I wonder how many failures Edison had before he ended up making our lives so much easier?
And the big difference with the USPS is that it can never fail because no matter how inefficient, no matter how bad it's structured, or how much money it loses, it will never run out of OUR MONEY to keep it going.
You win the most ignorant statement of the year award, CONGRATS!
It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

So we take our orders from Failures? Great idea. Business people are as big of screw ups as government workers. People are people. Sorry you missed my point.

How about a major league baseball .300 hitter?
Great example. I was trying to say that we revere small business with a 300 batting average yet expect the government to hit 950. Just trying to add a little perspective.Maybe I should just go back to my name calling a-hole self.

I don't understand why you think we take our orders from small business. They have the smallest lobby in Washington. If you are talking about all business and lumping small business in with big corporations and their powerful lobbies to make a point, you are diluting your point.
