>> I believe in the free market but I also see the need for some govt help, guardrails at times.

Of course, the guardrails ought to be built around MY ox, to keep it from getting gored, and to hell with your ox.

Right? :-)

I can’t really afford to build an interstate highway on my own, but think it’s a good idea to have one.
.
I really like having the stealth bomber to protect our country but I can’t really afford to buy one.

I also think it’s a really good idea to have the govt as a stabilizing force to prevent economic panics and hyperinflation, but again I really can’t do that on my own.

Do I want the govt to collect and spend money for Social Security? No.
Do I prefer govt schools (which were ridiculed by our Founders in their writings) that indoctrinate kids with leftist propaganda? No again

etc...,
