And it is laying bare the wildly divergent visions of what the appropriate role of government is in society. On one extreme you have intense advocacy for elimination of government programs, taxes, etc. On the other extreme you have advocates for major expansion of existing programs and creation of new ones.

Yet now we find ourselves in much worse shape. Things like education, housing, and medicine are already heavily regulated and interwoven with the government at all levels.
