The system in question is the one that ultimately enables the American way of life. The simple fact is that Government and industry are woven together, and while this relationship is problematic at times, it has led to incredible prosperity and is seen as a beacon for the new global economy.

I'd note that under normal operations, business tends to work its problems out. We are not now operating within normal parameters. Is it possible that government intervention might exacerbate the same issues that led to the problem in the first place? Perhaps, but it's also possible to borrow because of the need to reduce debt...


I agree...the current generation is looking for a lot from our Government, honesty, integrity, transparancy etc...

To be honest I don't know anyone, including some very liberal friends, who are hoping the Government will be intruding more into our lives.


Our system was designed to be flexible. There is a Judicial Branch because they understood that context would require interpretation. They split the Executive and Legislative Branches because they didn't want another King.

I have a bit of a Federalist streak in me because I do believe there's value in testing everything with the wisdom of our founders. They had an understanding of human behavior that is nealy universal, and perhaps not without equal in modern times.

That being said, the Constitution is a work in progress and there are really very few pure followers left anymore. Most Libertarians are given no more than novelty regard in modern politics.

If a hospital is NECESSARY, by all means, go.

How interwoven have business and government become, and how more so WILL they become? The deeper the weave, the more problematic?

I wouldn't think that wanting "honesty, integrity, transparency, etc." from government is a new desire, but what ALL generations expected.

HOPING that the government will not be intruding in our lives and unconsciously voting in ways that facilitates it, is part of the generational shift that has occured.

The Judicial Branch is in danger of losing the original perspective through appointments of those who accept the evolved notion that the Constitution is a work in progress and it is their prerogative to act not as judges of constitutional intent, but as LEGISLATORS . . . TO ACT AS THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH.

The fact that Libertarians are given no more than novely status shows how far we have come.
