Often praised in theory, rarely observed in practice. Yes, the government is clearly doing too many of the wrong things. In general, we Radical Centrists favor LEAN government. It is not enough to stop doing all the wrong things you rightly complain about. We have to do more of the Right things, including at other Federal Level. Libertarian theory doesn't seem to have a coherent recommendation for what those are, preferring blind faith in human nature in the market. We RC types prefer data...
