Let's let the government fix everything. Hold on, hasn't that been tried already? Oh yeah the USSR. That was a blazing success.
Conservatives generally aren't against the government helping in areas NO ONE ELSE CAN. It is obvious to everyone involved that the government largely screws up these sorts of "initiatives" and most of the money ends up wasted anyways. It's these pork projects that kill us.

Wasted? Please elaborate. It's not like the money vanishes. The money goes somewhere, usually to pay non-government salaries. Corporate Amerika is wasteful too: WorldCom, Global Crossing, Enron, and Halliburton. These are companies that hurt the lives of millions of Americans, including 40,000,000 citizens of California who pay double the national average for electricity because Enron gamed the system. We pay 15 cents per kilowatt! That wasn't completely the government's fault. matthew black california state university, long beach Note: Options expressed are mine and do not necessarily represent my employer.
