No, if you're not willing to talk about something you brought up then it's obviously a waste of time

I can chime in. It’s Milton Friedmans version of capitalism get rid of the Feds except for a shell. Contract everything out, get rid of subsidies for the poor and boom the capitalist utopia. Milton Friedman taught Regan, Cheney and bush. Perfect example the never ending Iraq war with its millions of contractors.
