But no... Socialism. Boo!
In theory, I agree with you. In practice, whenever the govt got involved, it became more cumbersome, cost went up and what not. Those were only a small handful of examples I gave you. Personally, I would rather not have govt involvement in anything more. I am not really for this bailout, auto or any industry. I believe in getting more done thru less govt.
