Dude….. You need to get a little better at your research. You are falling really short.

For one…. You claimed Bernie Sanders was a Democrat. He is not. Sanders is a self-avowed socialist. He just caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate and did the same for the many years he spent in the House.

You also fell really short regarding your story on private prisons. There was not one single mention that governments all over the country (including the federal government) are doing this to cut not only short term costs, but long term costs.

Prison guards are members of public sector unions. They work for maybe 20-25 years and the government has to pay them pensions and medical benefits for the rest of their lives. A lot of these guys retire in their 40′s (a significant amount retire on 3/4 medical pensions due to job related injuries at earlier ages).

Uniformed services like police and corrections officers all over the country usually base their pension rates on an average of their last three years salary working. That includes overtime. Almost all rack up HUGE amounts of overtime during those last three years and retire with HUGE taxpayer funded pensions.

It’s probably the worst in states like California where it is common for the state to be paying retired corrections officers 6 figure pensions for the rest of their lives.

That is the PRIMARY reason for private prisons. States and localities can no longer afford the generous pensions and benefits. The prison guards in the private system are not well paid and they definitely do not not have the lavish lifetime benefits afforded the public sector union guards.

It is all about offloading the costs. Especially all the future costs of retirees. Most state governments and municipalities around the country are now supporting more retirees than they have current working employees. This is an unsustainable situation.

You make it sound like some type of conspiracy to pack the prisons for someone else’s profit. That is a bit kooky. It is purely to offload costs. Especially the expensive costs of paying pensions and benefits to people for 30 or 40 years.

Many governments are contracting private companies to do Sanitation and garbage pickup too. All things that were once provided by government. Is there a conspiracy there too? No. It is all about money and attempting to avoid and offload unsustainable future costs.

You are also very wrong regarding your aloof attitude while discussing the security leaks in the Obama Administration. If Dianne Fienstein (one of the most liberal Democratic Party members of the Senate) is upset about security leaks in this administration, then the situation is serious if she is breaking party lines and speaking publicly about the issue.

It goes way beyond Stuxnet. It involves many other incidents and issues.

Maybe you should consider firing your researcher.

Your points regarding the points on private prions are all topics for future shows. This episode was a primer on the topic to set the stage for us to talk about those issues.

A good book I want to suggest called: “How Do You Kill 11 Million People? : Why The Truth Matters More Than You Think” by Andy Andrews

Its a very short book literally take you less than 30 minutes to read, and very well written.

Many thanks for your efforts at Jupiter! I just started listening to Unfilter and find the subject matter engaging, but the commentary lacks depth.

Chris, you labeled Bernie Sanders as a Democrat. As has been shown by previous posts, he is not. Therefore when Chase said, “Is he playing to the whole 99% thing” in response to Sen Sanders comments about wealth distribution I was not shocked. I felt that you and your co-hosts were truly demonstrating that you had not done your research. 

Senator Sanders has been talking about these issues since his days as a Congressman. Long before the occupy movement. There are many others in our government that speak truth. They come from many points along the political spectrum. Their voices remain inside the “filter.” 

Also, Lehman Brothers was a large bank that failed. The fallout from that failure created a climate of utter panic throughout the Regulatory and Financial industries (due to the regulators sitting on the bank boards). The Bush administration determined that the US economy could spin into depression if another bank like Lehman folded. Therefore, when Bear-Stearns began to weaken and it was revealed that AIG held too many insurance policies on CDO’s, the Government stepped in and bailed them out. The fallout from another “too-big-to-fail” failure entailed too much risk. We already know what happens if the big banks fail. Recent history contains the details.
