How do you figure whatever the government controls does bad? Look at our baking system now for the most part the big banks are owned by the government and its just the way it needs to be. I dunno if you all saw 60 min this past sunday but they came up with a good idea. Setting a limit on how big a business can get. After it gets to the point where our banks are at now it is forced to split up. If you do this then you can afford to let them fail. Its a sad truth but the end of free trade is here.
I don’t watch CBS, mainly because they’re full of *edited*. I would love to know, however, why you feel it’s ok for a company to be punished for success. If a company has a sound business model and beats the crap out of the competition is it then right for the government to punish that success by breaking the company apart to allow less competitive competitors to remain in business? In a FREE society, a business succeeds or fails because of the decisions its leaders make. In an OPPRESSED society, the government decides who the winners and loser are, regardless of who is actually winning or losing. How does that make sense?

The french government has actually denationalized a lot of it’s economy in the last twenty years.Your principle of government failing at whatever it does is not as apodictic as you believe masterp. Do you think about it very much or is something you repeat in your head every time you see the government incidentally *edited*ing up.
So how many screw-ups does the government get before we are allowed to comment? Last I checked I was America, not China, I don’t have to wait until a regime change before I’m allowed to comment on a failure although it seems like you Obama boys are all about letting the country go to hell in a handbasket before letting others comment on it. I don’t remember the same courtesy being given to Bush, although I’m sure his failures were “different”.
