As a fan of Ike I must disagree, to a point, Government, when run well, supports fair play in enforcing regs, for example that keep products safe, stop anti-trust practices, eliminate barriers to entry and subsidies… but, well that is the gov. of my dreams… so maybe you are right about what is most likely to happen.
