I think, to some extent we're somewhat in agreement -- the spread of the nanny state is inexorable given the thing. Thanks for catching my <i>laissez-faire</i> for supply side mixup. I think the point that Subsidiarity makes is that the more you talk about shrinking social programs, the more you end up expanding them, you just end up doing it in a half-assed manner. @Craig: Craig, thanks for your remarks.

But they're not. The United States has been going through manifestations of a Nanny State ever since the Civil War with the high points being the Progressive Era through WWII. Do you imagine that the statutes and regulations enacted during that period and after just went away? As for you characterization of the Reagan Presidency as laissez-faire capitalism, you've got to be kidding. The only roll back [however modest] of federal regulatory authority occurred under Carter, not Reagan. The administrations of Reagan, and then Bush II saw unprecedented growth in the size of the federal budget, and absolutely no roll back in the intrusiveness of government into either business or the private lives of Americans. Get your facts right the next time, rather than relying on these popular myths. That thesis would be a great deal more convincing if any of your premises were true. But they’re not.
