There is clearly too much government and there is regulatory capture - are you saying these aren't true? Just because some regulation is deemed good doens't mean the majority is.
There is a bias that the present and recent history is how things are and should be and that any changes require superior proof than the initial experiment in passing the legislation.
- PaulDavisThe1st 7y agoI understand that you might think there is too much government, but it's far from clear that this is so. I think the USA could benefit from "more government", but even saying that is woefully ambiguous. What does "less government" or "more government" even mean? Less laws? More government workers? Too much spending? Regulatory capture is indeed a problem, but it's not unique to the USA and there's no point pretending that it's unsolvable.
- BurningFrog 7y agoThinking of the issue as "too much" vs "too little" presumes government quality is a one dimensional thing. Reality is far, far more complex and interesting than that!
