Government sets policy for taxing and spending and is responsible for balancing the inevitable excesses of business through regulation and enforcement. Who you elect to office drives or doesn't drive the economy depending on the vicissitudes of the political ideologies and unfortunately, who happens to be in whose pocket at the time. FDR's policies put this county back on it's economic feet and it has driven the Republicans and Libertarians nuts for the past 70 years because it means the rich can't get richer on the backs of the poor. They hate the government helping anyone for anything. They especially hate the social safety net. It's why they want to privatize social security and voucherize Medicare and turn it over to Wall Street. > What works well in the 'economic sphere' doesn't necessarily > work in the 'political sphere'. > > The recent elections spent a staggering 1.5 billion $ > dollars on campaign expenditure.
