"Much of what government does is based on the premise that people can't
do things for themselves. So government must do it for them. More often

this resulting failure is never blamed on the political approach - on
the contrary, failure is taken to mean the government solution was not
extravagant enough."


The entire column is worth reading.



Loonytarian nonsense.
