Collapse of Industrialized World

This is a great film that should be understood by most and should not be construed as the liberal media agenda. National Geographic should be a trusted source of what's going on in the world.

National Geographic: Collapse

This National Geographic production looks ahead to a bleak hypothetical future, in which our civilization has completely collapsed. In the year 2210, a team of scientists set out to learn exactly what took down our seemingly indestructible society. Did we make the same mistakes the Romans, Incas and Mayans did that led to the collapse of their empires, or did a whole new set of circumstances lead to our downfall?

Privatization of Medicare? @chrislhayes

How is it possible that some perceive private corporations as being able to offer cost reductions for key government functions?

Corporations must produce profits and improve them over time. that is the nature of capitalism. They will underestimate the cost initially to get the business and then slowly increase the cost once the options are null.

What about all the military (Boeing, Halliburton) and health insurance industry projects that have costs Billions more than originally planned? The Federal government has been screwed over the past 60 years by the military industrial complex and citizens have been screwed since the 1970's by the health care industry.

How about the prison system? We spend more on incarceration than education at the State level. Privatized.

Why would we want to do this to our future generations for medicare?
