It would be a shame to sell TVA
It would be a shame if TVA were sold. Few know the city we enjoy wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for dams they built by an unemployed public.
Nor should we overlook their investment in power infrastructure which enabled growth in industry above the national norm. To the federal government, TVA is relatively small potatoes and when there must be choices, which states support the Obama administration and which impugn and undermine his efforts?
Think of what happened to the coal industry and connect the posture of its politicians in states where coal is important. Whether we like it or not, perhaps, we should respect the office of the presidency. It is one powerful office. And besides, Obama won the majority of votes.

Veterans should salute the flag
If you see a civilian saluting at a football or basketball game, you’ll be looking at an American veteran.
