The idea of privatizing the common good for profit such as education at all levels and healthcare to name just two is not something other countries generally do. Profit, in and of itself, is not inherently bad. The pursuit of profit becomes abusive of the common good. Not investing in the health and education of our people, especially our young people is cruel and shortsighted. Intellectual curiosity is what has powered great exploration and development of all manner of things to improve lives. Imagine if all the various explorers of all cultures had not set forth to see what’s out there? What if scientists were not trying to find out out various forms of life from mammals to Protozoa, operate? Reagan was the poster boy for “You can’t fix stupid.”
