The notion that the federal government can actually create a policy or program to provide something that is better than free enterprise is absurd on it's face, and evidence suggests that is the worst possible means of attempting to do anything. I will agree that there have been a lot of federal failures, but they relate to over-regulation, the creation of monopolies, and a failure at being good stewards of the public trust. Add this all up, and you have to wonder why on earth people think the federal government should EVER be considered as being responsible for much of anything in our daily lives. > > - Peter > > > Mark Koskenmaki wrote: > > >I can't believe that someone would be dumb enough to write this...
