I think some are getting hung up on the phrase "government program"; I wouldn't be surprised if Will used it as a dig at liberals. I don't think he meant "hand-out", which is the goal of many social programs and perhaps what people are responding to. Providing a legal framework for capitalism is (or should be) a government program in the same way that national defense is (or should be) a government program. I don't think an idea is automatically Marxist just because it uses the phrase.
I suspect Rush will be all over this tommorrow.
