I think government actively hurts our society. Pretty much everything the government does these days hurts families, communities and businesses.
What I want politicians to do is to do less of all of that. Their laws and regulations and social engineering mess everything up.
A return to limited government seems to me to be a decent national policy, but I guess that's a loaded term.
You're absolutely right -- and thanks for the clarification.
I've long said that even most professional jobs these days could be done by someone with a high school education -- at least at the entry level. I work in engineering, and I know I probably could have done my first engineering job pretty well right out of high school.
