How would "small" government change it?
Being a European living in a country with a "bigger" relative government (as I understand the way Americans use the term) but with free healthcare and a big data mining debate ongoing, I'm a bit at a loss...
- NoPiece 12y agoA smaller government wouldn't have a $52.6 billion budget for the NSA & CIA to data mine. A drug company can only charge a $1000 for a pill because the government is blocking competition by granting patents. Effectively creating a micro monopoly. Small government with extremely limited or no patents would allow competition to fix the $1000 pill. It is industries like healthcare and telecom, where the US has both very large companies and very big government that we have the worst outcomes.
