which idea are you referring to if it is today with people complaining about a streamlined workforce i agree. my point is she failed to retain any form of internal revenue for our country other than tax liability upon a profits and a diminished workforce leading to our current under funded state.

Streamlined workforce is one, but if the largest shareholder to the big old nationals would have been the government, they would never have changed. When we were privatised, each department had two years to make itself pay or be closed. All the "old boys" wanted it to fail as it meant they would have been paid out in full with full pensions and five years money lump sum if they were over fifty. Nice work if you can get it, but it was no good for the hundreds of us in our twenties. Old habits for the nationalised workshy died hard but they couldn't see it. Full privatisation made them pull their socks up.
