JF, > And your point is?

Since when did government become necessary to raise our own children, for instance? We already have child protective services. What's next? Universal nursery school? Universal day care? Whatever happened to traditional parenthood?

Those are the kinds of questions that should be raised. Not whether day care would be more "efficient" when run by the government, but whether it should even be a service provided by and paid for by taxpayers.

Now I have no problems with public works and public infrastructure. Something gets built, something gets used by everyone, and everyone benefits. But why should social services fall under the same category? You just create a society more dependent on government for services they really ought to be taking care of themselves.
