The internet, interstate highway system, going to the f*cking moon, atomic energy, clean food/air/water, and a dozen other things, as well.
The "free market" gave us sweatshops, company towns, and economic depression.
You know what happens when you give private enterprise too much power? The Blackwater Baghdad shootings.
Within 2 minutes, anybody could find a dozen things that the government has done wrong. And, 2 minutes after that, you can find a dozen things that private enterprise or the free market has screwed up.
Advocating a blind adherence to either view is wrong-headed.
