No, I didn't think you were implying that government was the solution but when lefties over analyze and make everything a syndrome, more government is always their solution. The first chapter of solving a problem in their book is usually a study of it, undewritten by taxpayer money, and after the study is concluded that's when you really hear the big sucking sounds.
I don't think Conservatives do a very good job of identifying what the real problems facing us are, either. Too many just go into knee-jerk reactions against Lib proposals.
The first step should be identifying the real problems facing us. We don't do that - we take sides first, and then fight, even when our positions are shaky.
But it's *us* who have to solve the problems, not gov't.
