"Or we can keep shifting the cost to the consumers."
This is the goal of the GOP agenda. Relieve their paymasters of the *burden* of paying their equitable share of taxes while shoveling government benefits into their private nosebags and corporate troughs. And leave the most vulnerable to strangle in their bootstraps and willing to stand on their neighbors' necks to keep their own heads above water.

... more than a bit ...
Divide and conquer, the repubs war tactics. Bypass peacetime for power.

Or, in short, privatize profits but socialize losses.
