Whether we need more government in this country really depends on the answer to three other questions. First, is there room for improvement in government programs? Have we reached the limits of what government can do in most policy areas, or could expanding these current programs produce significant added benefits for the public? Second, are any of our current social and economic problems worsening? Are we facing new and serious threats to our wellbeing? If so, this would logically indicate the need for more government. And finally, can we rely on markets and individual effort to solve these current and emerging problems? If so, then we don’t need more government. But if markets and individual initiative are not up to the task, this bolsters the case for a more collective, governmental approach. All three of these questions are complex ones, but as this article will show, we can begin to get some definitive answers to all of them. These answers strongly indicate that we do need more government – not less – in the United States
IMHO, since more and more gov'ment has brought us to where we are now with a swiftly declining middle class,,, maybe we should try less. pun intended
What ever the mo gov sites I posted say do - un do and/or do the exact opposite......
BTW Collective defined: set up on the principles or system of collectivism.
