First of all i'm not from the crowd of too much or too little government. I believe they have their place in our society. What I don't agree with is just standing aside and letting the market correct itself. I don't believe in doing "nothing". Whether its "too much" government as you all will say, then so be it. Yes we can argue back and forth that government involvment didn't work. But right now are dire times. I'm lucky to have my job I have now but I feel for those that are struggling. The survival of the fittest or capitalist ideology isn't something I agree with, not but the slightest. Not when my people next to me are struggling. They're hard working people. Honest people. They're not living off the government like many sarcastically insist. Most importantly I believe government should be involved in the creation of jobs since to me thats the most dire of needs. Mortgages? Not so sympathetic there. (And I'm in the business) But unemployment, thats where I stand for assistance. Not talking about benefits or unemployment insurance either. I'm talking about straight and clear job preservation and creation.
