You are just regurgitating folksy nonsense that has no substance or meaning. Every modern nation in the world understands that it crucial for for the government to be involved in all aspects of its economy if they hope to survive in the future. You will either change or diminish into a minor nation of bitter extremists. It is hard to fathom how anybody given what has happened in the last few years can still believe in the neo conservative nanny state in which corporations will take care of you from cradle to grave and all that we the people who are the real government have to do is just get out of thier way and just let it happen. If the last 8 years haven't put to rest that fantasy than frankly you are doomed. The irony of the right wing position regarding govt. is that no business would ever operate itself in the same manner as you believe the U.S. nation should be operated by its elected leaders.
