Based on your other posts, yes. You seem to have no principled limits to what you want government in control of - other than your own personal preferences. ie you see government in fundamentally the same terms as liberals, as a tool to force your will on society. Maybe I shouldn't be busting on you for it, you're no worse than them. But Republicans make a lot of noise (at least when they're not in power) about limited government. The hypocrisy gets ugly.Government is there for more than to protect liberty and rights. It's to keep peace between the people as well. Otherwise I would be able to light that gas station on fire and nobody from the government could do anything to me because it has nothing to do with rights or liberty. I got ripped off, so my way to get back is to destroy the place.
Again, the same excuses. It seems you agree with liberals more than you'd like to admit. They also want government running pretty much everything.
You call that government running everything?
Wait a minute: you mean to say that when I buy a product that may destroy property of mine, expecting government to make sure that doesn't happen is me forcing somebody to do something?
Are you actually using a Democrat's talking point list or something?
Of course government should go after businesses that commit fraud, or sell products that harm people. What's that go to do with mandating pricing policies? Nothing.
It did drift off. But the debate started with Trump mandating that prices be transparent in healthcare. I don't see anything wrong or big government about that. People should have the ability to see what procedures are going to cost them before committing to them, or see where they wish to get their healthcare serviced at. In that way, you can see who is ripping you off and who is not. You can't do that if they are not going to give you the price for services.
