  1. How does privatization work to cut taxes? Instead of paying gov't employees, those departments are shrunk or eliminated, and in their place gov't makes contracts with private corporations that cost more than gov't employees -- and pays them with taxpayer monies. And that was the core deceit unleashed by Reagan. Promoted by the lie that the corporations, paid with more taxpayer monies than gov't employment costs, would create jobs with all that money, and tax cuts. Instead there was introduced cronyism and contract fraud.

  2. Ed King was a Republican who got elected by lying that he was a Democrat. He later sued for defamation. And he was so insufferable that the jury found in his favor -- and awarded him the total maximum award of $1.00. And overpayment by at least 1 cent.
