It's beginning to feel all bad at this point, yeah, I agree.

They'll save a lot of money, but (a) the cost isn't worth it and (b) it's just totally assenine logic that takes a dump on the idea of a government's existence having any sense of meaning that goes beyond serving the interests of the wealthy.
