Throwaway for obvious reasons. This is not an appropriate role of government and I'm glad Gingrich closed it down. The government is not "us" as former president Obama and many HN readers believe. It is a entity separate and apart from the people it claims to represent and therefore its size and role should be extremely limited. Any representation it claims to provide can be easily proven wrong under scrutiny, if only the educated elite would bother to do so.
