I would say that the vocal minority wants to cut services. The majority want the bills to be lower, and the state to stop subsidizing big oil while they sacrifice the well being of the residents. Supply side economics has failed. Giving the money to the corporations , and depending on their benevolence has brought us to where we are. Moving to a Demand approach to the economy puts the money into the hands of every household and demand will naturally increase. Supply side makes the very few rich, and promotes horrible waste , and that is the point we are at now. We need to change the approach and empower the individual, and that cannot be done by privatizing medical care. That is why we pay 5 to 10 times what people pay in the lower 48. A set of false teeth, about 2 ounces of plastic, will cost 6 or 7 thousand dollars from our " privatized " health care providers. FMH overcharges for everything, and CEO salaries(bonuses) continue increasing at an alarming rate. Pure unadulterated greed.
