They ARE typically provided by the Government because they promote the general welfare.

So anything that promotes the general welfare should be provided by the government? You make a case that anything the promotes the general welfare may be provided by the government but not that it should or must be. Surely you know how long thelist of potential candidates would be if the government provided everything promoting of the general welfare. I'm scheduled to get replacement windows on Friday. Maybe I should hold off until the government starts paying for them. And today's trip to the grocery store, as well.

Needs some work, wonk.

BTW, if it looks like I don't appreciate all the input because I've not accepted any of it, that's not so. This is the way we analyze things in a group. Someone offers a suggestion, others critique it and send it back to the drawing board, and sooner or later you get a viable product, assuming the product is feasible.
