Stripping government workers of rights, balancing budgets on the backs of employees, denying contract fufillments - it's all part of the published Republican-ALEC-Republican Governors Association plan.
There's not much money left to strip out of our government for the private profiteers, but the Republicans are intent on getting every last penny they can, even if all that is left to scavenge on the state and national level is government worker pay, pensions, benefits, and Social Security and Medicare to be "privatized" (given to private corporations)
The Republicans used the Bush years to virtually finish fully privatizing war to shovel money to their corporate friends (Haliburton, Xe, etc). They already ensured the oil industry in the US runs on massive government subsidies which is the only thing insuring their profit.
Time to take the last little bit before the GOP implodes. The "Tea Party" 80 in the House have screwed up the scheme, by refusing to vote for "government controls" that the GOP demands (not being good GOP voting sheep). So right now, alot of the privateering depends upon the actions of the GOP Governors.
