Government's At It Again!!

:offtopic:
I wonder if there is a correlation between the skyrocketing health care costs and the high tuition charged by post secondary schools. Most of the doctors go deep in debt to survive, what 8 years or more of college, and to pay off those debts they need to charge the consumer. Of course all the technicians who have to go to school must pay off their debts too. A little simplistic maybe, because the drug companies tack on a bunch on prescriptions and Hospitals must take their cut too.

Government regulation has its places and is necessary. However it can also become obsessive and even though the intent sometimes may be good the result can can be catastrophic. There has to be a happy medium between the two and it is this battle between what is good and what is bad that will be with us forever as long as there is a government. Over time, as history has proven, the pendulum of regulation swings to and fro and eventually there will be times of less regulation.

Government regulation is at one end of the spectrum....it is the other end that is the problem: bastardizing capitalism, picking winners and losers.

To a large degree, the problem is in the Constitution...wherein both a taxing ability, and an implicit spending ability reside.
That, and the desire of pols to make their career life-long by dolng out coin in one form or another.

The problem is when government goes beyond the boundaries provided within the Constitution, to include those areas in which government was never given the task or responsibility to provide. The Federal Government of our Founders was meant to have a much more "limited" role over this country, than what we see of the Federal Government of today. As long as politicians are willing to stretch and reinvent the Constitution to conform to their policies, we will always be left with a huge taxing and spending problem.
