I think that your position is ideological and not correct. The government provides institutions that lower risk to the rest of the economy and enable more stability and growth.
Is regulatory capture a problem at some agencies? Sure. Are some departments outdated or ineffective? Sure. But it is irresponsible to look at a few cases and claim that the entire government is a problem.
You want to see less government? Visit Yemen or gangster Russia
- tomjen3 15y agoI have downvoted you, because strawmen attack are bad form of debate. One can ask for less government without wanting to be ruled by a warlord.
- danenania 15y ago"You want to see less government? Visit Yemen or gangster Russia" Quite a strange statement given that the governments of both those countries are central to their problems and deeply involved in crime and corruption themselves. In Yemen the government employees shoot innocent people in broad daylight with impunity. Real libertarian haven they've got there.
