Is it a proper role of government to reward or incentivize certain behaviors a/o economic choices and to punish or discourage others?

Is home ownership a good thing which leads to better citizenship and more stable communities? Then it should be encouraged, even if this is done through what you malign as “central planning”.

No and No. The only thing government can do is what the Constitution limits it to and national defense and dealing with foreign countries ( as in trade and immigration issues).

Government shouldn't be involved. Government is the problem not the solution.

Correct lightman.

democrat_media believes he has this buzz word called "central planning" that he/she can throw out regarding itemizations. Since central planning is communistic, he/she thinks the argument is automatically won through a cynical smear tactic.

The reality is that it is now the GOP who are trying to "central plan" millions of the rest of us. When called out on it, they spew insults and false labels.
