Like with anything - if you want something done badly, inefficiently, and expensively, give it to the government. That's what makes the modern trend of turning more and more things over to government control so bad.

Socialism doesn't work. Private enterprise does work, but it has to be overseen by government to prevent abuses. There's a desirable balance between the two, which I think we pretty well achieved in about the 1950's.

Now the pendulum has swung 'way too far to the left. If it continues going that way, our society and economy will be wrecked as has happened to so many other countries who thought their government should do everything.

Or, hopefully, the pendulum will swing back toward private enterprise at some point - and we'll again be able to enjoy the stability, efficiency, and prosperity that balance produces.

Vote for Republicans who really act like Republicans to make that happen. Unfortunately, they're scarce.
