Z, <There are only a few categories of services the government should be handling- health care, education, transportation, infrastructure, energy, a few social safety nets, maybe a couple of others.> Where does universal day care fit into this? Health care? Not really. Education? Only if you extend the definition of education past K-12. A social safety net? OK, I'll buy that, but this also creates the culture of dependence that I was talking about. Let's be honest about what we want and what the costs will be. Tenchusatsu

-Z, re:There are only a few categories of services the government should be handling- health care, education, transportation, infrastructure, energy, a few social safety nets, maybe a couple of others. The vast majority of goods and services cannot be provided by the government and private enterprise can take care of those. There's one mistake you haven't corrected. Try the constitution of the Untied States for what the government is charged to do. Not what you "feel" is the "right" thing to do. You ever read the constitution Z? Steve
