Why does it need to be profitable to exist? Why does it need to generate income? Why can’t we be fine with subsidizing and paying for wilderness and public transportation? Because some well connected business man could charge us money for it and pocket the difference and still barely maintain it and sell it off to be developed into concrete malls?
- tonymet 2y agoYou may have noticed the federal government is insolvent, yet has plenty of assets. When they return to solvency we can discuss involuntary charity.
- consteval 2y agoIf this is truly your opinion, I would imagine you would turn your attention to defense spending. I hear this line of thinking often, and almost every time it turns out the person is lying, sometimes even to themselves. It's not the spending people have a problem with, it's the what.
- tonymet 2y agorevenue and spending both need attention. defense spending must come down too
- righthand 2y agoSo defund a small programs to help reach solvency even though it’s not wasteful and wouldn’t have an effect on solvency? Let corporations destroy the natural world in the name of financial gain? Yep more capitalism-only mindset. Still no reason to do this to the national parks. It’s funny how funding weapons and things like endless TSA security theater is not ever criticized for their contribution to insolvency. The gain has been negligent. No clearly the problem is the education and parks that actually contribute good and real safety and security to the country.
- tonymet 2y agousfs doesn't maintain the national parks. the tsa should also be canceled. neither precludes making federal assets more productive.
