Dear Faux News: The guvmit doesn't send out social security checks. Lockheed- Martin does!
Edited on Wed Aug-26-09 03:53 PM by Joanne98

In The Shock Doctrine this history leads to Sept. 11, 2001, when disaster struck the United States. Others have dealt extensively with the impact on civil liberties. Klein focuses on the enormous homeland security industry that has erupted, the "Disaster Capitalism Complex," as she dubs it. She documents the privatizing of governmental functions, and if we knew that Lynne Cheney's old company, Lockheed-Martin, was controlling air traffic, it still might surprise us to learn that the same corporation sorts our mail, issues Social Security checks and does many other previously governmental chores.

This is more proof that business never does anything right. Prisoners wouldn't have got stimulus checks if the guvmit was still sending them out.

Aside from that, prisoners stimulate the economy too. The commissary carts are owned by independent contractors. If prisoners got some extra money they spent it on that. The commissary guy then spent his extra money and therefore it STIMULATED the economy.

Why don't you people at Faux News fuck off and DIE!
