I think the question should be 'why not'? The default should be the government doesn't do things and only does things that it is uniquely able to do.

- Matl 3y ago> The default should be the government doesn't do things Right, but taking this in the opposite direction then, why for public interest things should the default of 'people who just want to buy the next yacht' run them good?
- totallywrong 3y agoYeah, capitalism 101, good in theory but terrible for most people in practice. Look at e.g. the health system, where a major issue means total bankruptcy and life debt. A somewhat balanced system where governments protect basic needs and have some control over the markets is the ideal imo.
- toast0 3y ago> total bankruptcy and life debt Those are two different things. Bankruptcy isn't fun, but it clears your debt.
