[Martin D. Weiss\' Blog] Two Urgent Questions for You This Morning | Martin D. Weiss' Blog: Nothing left to cut in California?Are you kidding?Just privatizing education would save over $20Billion a year.That is the biggest waste we have in California.We spend over $12,000 a year for what is mostly day care combined with some education.I checked the cost of a couple of private,church based schools that neighbors kids go to.They both charge about $4,500 student/ per year.If we had govt vouchers of $5,000 per student we could save enough to just about balance the budget in California.I don’t know why we persist with our old “little house on the prairie” school system when there is so much new technology available today.There is no reason that we even need so many physical schools beyond grade 6.I would guess if we went to internet education(with students only attending physical schools once a week or less) we could cut education expenses by 90%.How about privatizing fire services.There are communities in the U.S. with volunteer fire depts.If they can survive with volunteers there is no reason we couldn’t just bid for private companies to do this service.Here in Orange County,CA we were spending about $175,000 for every fireman and that is a statistic several years old.I would guess it’s much higher today and they have outrageous pensions we still need to pay in the future.We should privatize every govt function we can.

So while Bernanke and Geithner paid banks par and above for those assets, on our behalf, now we find those same assets are worthless and should be valued closer to "default".
