People who think the RPR is a brilliant thing aren't really aware of Governments role or function in daily life.
The more I read, the more I find out that capitalist economics works brilliantly, but not for everything. I was reading this weekend about how it works in regard to Farming (Whats the Matter with Kansas, Thomas Frank) and government regulations simply need to be in place (as in the New Deal). You simply need some form of larger hand to make sure things are in order. I'm not calling for socialism because we shouldn't restrain because of emotional sensitivity but agriculture and health care simply cannot function in the traditional roles of government.
