could someone please give at least one example of something the government has taken over that is better today than before the take over?

I for one am a non believer (if I said skeptical it would mean a possibility it could happen)....first of far too many in the government is a lawyer which means they know nothing about running anything...since that all have tenure in jobs that have all the money they can spend or print with no accountability, how could they know what to do to fix a broken business of any kind.
Then get to the individual level...Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Frank who couldn't find their backside with a map....

In my humble opinion all that is needed is to go back to the rules of businesses of days gone by with accountability, credibility and responsibility to the share holders and employees. Then work at restoring American manufacturing because it provides jobs, pride and accomplishment while strengthening America to it's former position in the world.

We are a service provider society with no rules of the road with permissive, look the other way government.

The government has proven to be incapable of anything beyond the individual lawmakers needs.

I do wait with baited to be proven wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
