Yeah, but what's "government" except for a bunch of half assed compromises between liberals and conservatives? The bureaucracies were created by someone; they didn't just appear.
Well, yeah, but the definition of conservative/liberal changes a lot over the years as the center shifts. For example, we rarely argue about free silver/gold (William Jennings Bryan call your office), etc. And I read today (somewhere on the internet, so it must be true!) that congress is going to wind down Fannie and Freddie in the next few years. So apparently government sponsored mortgages for people who can't possibly afford them is no longer on the board. (Charlie Rangle, you call your office too, ok?) -XC
