Dude, the heritage foundation is a trash organization. They want to privatize everything from the military, to roads, all schools and federal agencies. They want THEIR people in control regardless of what government is in control. They're a KOCH industry body. Here's an example of everything they want to privatize (articles they posted about privatization). They routinely flood their site with the same articles over and over. These are all Heritage Foundation articles. Heritage.org is absolute Right Wing TRASH/Propaganda. The Koch family is trach as well.

Municipalities

And the largest holder of US debt is ... US citizens, investing their money in the single most stable and risk free investment to spend it in the future.

The only concern is when the cost of servicing the debt (ie interest payments) becomes too high that the government struggles to pay for services.

What we don't know is did the fact that TSA exists thwart terrorist plans and save hundreds or thousands of lives? We'll never know.

I'm a private pilot with a commercial rating, so I fly myself most places I want to go. I avoid large airports because of all the security measures. I hate the fact the FAA can track my plane via ADS-B and send me a ticket if I accidentally bust airspace without radioing in or being on the proper transponder frequency, but the implementation of all the new security measures allows me to see real time traffic on my screen as well as real time weather without an expensive radar system on my plane.
