GOP Presidential hopeful: Eliminate all government services you can find via Google (+ response) http://j.mp/l2dJXH (This message on Google Buzz) - - - http://j.mp/lg8ViX (CNN) "Among his [Tim Pawlenty's] more novel ideas: If you can find it on Google, the government shouldn't be doing it. "We can start by applying what I call 'The Google Test.' If you can find a good or service on the Internet, then the federal government probably doesn't need to be doing it," Pawlenty said. Among the services he would cut: Amtrak, the U.S. Postal Service, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the Government Printing Office." --------------------------- Tim Pawlenty's failing Google Test http://j.mp/ihCwFx (Washington Post) "Do you know what is on Google? EVERYTHING ON THIS PLANET! Here is a diagram I made earlier ... Maybe the government has gotten too big. But there are some things that it would feel wrong to get from the private sector, like blather, apologies, or resolutions declaring Appreciation and Awareness Days." - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Google Buzz: http://j.mp/laurenbuzz Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com
