Your call. On May 27 President Obama proposed selling off the socialist program knows as the Tennessee Valley Authority to private enterprise. Now you would think the republicans would endorse this idea because the big bad government can't do anything right. You would be wrong.
It seems the good republican representives from Tenn. and Alabama are really socialists. They are against this because, wait for it, if it's privatized the costs to consumers will go up. Since 1933 the government run TVA has provided reliable power to one of the poorest regions in the country at some of the lowest costs in the nation. It seems reservations have been expressed by Senator Richard Shelby (R-Alabama) and Representative John Duncan, Jr. (R-Tennessee), who was quoted as saying that privatization is “something that has been proposed in the past and been determined to be a very bad idea.” It would be bad because it would cost people who vote for them more money and this just might piss them off enough so they don't vote for the good senators and congresscritters. This just proves their small, limited government BS is just that. BS. They need to be called out for this blatant hypocrisy. It also shows that even when the president proposes republican ideas they are against it.
