Greater government control of the economy ? How? Give us an example? All the bailouts and subsidies. Calls for increased regulation. Deciding the warranty and advertising policies of GM and Chrysler. Deciding that the unions, despite being junior creditors, will take less of a haircut than the senior creditors in the Chrysler bankruptcy, and then leaning on the creditors that received government money to go along with this plan. The push for alternate energy. Pushing out the leaders of various corporations. Calls for increased government involvement in medical care and insurance. Increasingly tight emissions and mileage standards.
