And even if privatization saves the gov't half -- and how likely is a reduction to 1% TOTAL for admin costs and profit? -- we've saved a whopping $4.5 billion. Woo-de-fucking-hoo.
On the other hand, that leaves Club with only $653 billion more "pork" to cut, so.....

JFC to you too. The cc comment was a fucking joke, people. And it's an entirely different system.
That said, there are two
separate points here:
1) SS admin doesn't provide for much cost savings for club's $800B spending cut (other than benefits).
2) Despite that, putting that admin in the private sector could still be cheaper.
Why do people assume that corruption, waste, fraud, and abuse infects only the private sector? If that's the case, though, I'm sure we can create some savings by eliminating every inspector general's office.
