The job of the government is to help us make our world a better place. If the job of government was just to resolve conflict, we'd have no roads, no bridges, no public education, we'd all be working 100 hour weeks for a pittance, and the world would be a really really awful place that none of us would like to live in. To think otherwise is just foolishness.
- the_ancient 12y agoAhh the classic "Who will build the roads" Fallacy To think government was the reason for any of things you site it ignorant is best. You really need to study history more.
- NateDad 12y agoHistory? Like the New Deal? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Deal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Deal
- splintercell 12y agoNew Deal simply exacerbated the Great Depression instead of helping to fix it. Its like you give a patient poison and then when he gets more sick you say "You see how much you really needed my medicine". Lets say we do wanna study the effect of Government on Great Depression, what would be the falsifiability criteria for that?
