Is the end near?

Is the end near of ultra liberal governements in America?

It has been for me always amazing to see republicans singing together on conventons of their party...LESS GOVERNEMENT LESS GOVERNEMENT....as the governement is from mars and not elected by the poeple.

Recent events in the financial world shows the limits of that system...A system who allows ceo's to have half to the benefits when they are made....and arent anymore responsable for their dessisions which brings corporations to enormious losses...even as now resulting to masive loss of jobs...I call it wild capitalism.

We have in europe this ethical discussion since two to three years.I think that governements should refect and regulate .As the finacial world has a big infuence on our daily lives I think a minimum of regulation is needed..

Who gets to decide how much is a minimum?

The problem is that the majority of Republicans say "less government," but once they get inside the Beltway, are shown the wonderous ways of well-monied lobbyists, and become hooked on the trappings of big-government power, they become like... well, like Democrats.

No one IN government truly wants less of it. Only those who chafe under it really want to see it whittled down.

Everyone wants less government until they take the porkchop off of your plate and then they try to say that the entitlement cuts were for someone else. Less government = less entitlements. How did they become entitlements in the first place?

you have never seen an ultra liberal American government like the one you'll see if Obama is elected... are you sure you are using liberal correctly luvuun?

Sorrow ,
We live in a near impossible time .
Most of us aspire to democracy , freedom of speech , human rights and the Rule of Law ( I refer , of course , to the US and EU good guys ).
But increasing population and sharper population fragmentation means that the need for control has reached heights probably not even considered , say , 20 years ago .
Compromises on previously considered sacrosanct matters now seem inevitable and even desperately necessary if the system is to keep intact and if the top of the triangle is to remain in charge ( totally necessary but obviously another Topic in its own right ).
The need for Philosopher Kings has never been greater .
