RE: The House babershop, on the other hand, was privatized almost 20 years ago. It runs at a profit, which stands to reason since the three staff stylists are independent contractors.
This one example alone would be a good advertising point that can be used by the GOp if they are smart enough.
Just use this one example to show how government running things inevitable leads to bankruptcy and apply it to Obamacare, Energy Subsidies and Housing, and you shall have made a great advertising statement.
Then you can continue by citing another example:
EXCERPT:
Senate Cafeteria: Democrat Incompetence in Microcosm
If a government-run cafeteria bleeds the red ink of cost overruns year after year, why on earth should anyone but the craziest, stupidest of fools believe that they can successfully run the health care system which represents over 1/6th of the economy?
For that matter, if the Democrat-controlled Senate can’t run a cafeteria, why on earth should anyone trust them to run the country?
The first three paragraphs of an AP article titled “Money-losing Senate restaurants to go private” read:
WASHINGTON (AP) – The famed bean soup served in Senate restaurants is made up of dried navy beans, smoked ham hocks, onions and a million-dollar tab for the taxpayer.
That menu for financial distress could be about to change as the Senate, following the lead taken by the House more than 20 years ago, moves to privatize the restaurants, coffee shops and cafeterias located in the Capitol and Senate office buildings.
The Senate last week passed a bill authorizing Senate restaurants, now run by the Architect of the Capitol, to go private, ending months of back-and-forth between Democrats appalled by the operation’s money-losing ways and other Democrats worried that restaurant workers would get thrown out like the ham bones.
Bean soup. That explains a lot about the smell emanating from the Senate.
The problem being that the Republicans in the Senater are no different than the Democrats in the Senate. The GOP took over the Senate as well about the time that the House was privatizing their barbershop, so the GOP in that body could have made the same improvements as the House did. But they didn’t. The Senate kept its wasteful ways under both Republican control and Democrat control.
