I was looking at the National Council for a New America and decided to make a few commits, seems this will be as good a place as any to post them.

First I would like to say that I think that these areas and to what extent the government is involved in them is/or should be a concert to all on this forum - if we don’t become involved in the National Council then what is a alternative to them. Second, although three of the ones evolved in this are people I would like to see in contention for the next presidential election I find it strange that all the listed “experts” are politician, why are people like the Heritage Foundation, and other relevant groups listed?

These are three quick comments on the topics they have listed, and I think the government is far too involved in/and should have little/no involvement (beyond criminal behavior) over anything except National Security. Personal innovation will restore the economy (which should be focused on production, not consumption). Although many areas of the country had people who couldn’t read (and still do), I think the education system worked much better when the government had less control over it.

Health care is approaching a state of crisis and much of it is because of government intervention and tort. Any involvement (besides minimal regulation) should be directed to areas of health care where the private sector does not/can not meet the needs of the citizens. The EMS system has interfaced very well with private medical practice, and emergency room crowding has been alleviated by private (mostly) clinics that are run by hospitals. I think this could be extended to make home health care more prevalent (as it has been in the past), we could have the same government /private interface here and people suffering from things like the flu (which normally not handled by EMS) could obtain medical care GMTs?)without having to get out of bed and go sit in a doctorss office.
