Then they say we have to run it like a corporation! Would they put an environmentalist in charge of one of their beloved oil companies?

1. Reagan was wrong.
Government isn't the problem; Republican government is the problem.

6. Because Americans shop for price; not for value
their sales pitch is 'government sucks. it messes up everything it does so let's make it small and cheap. it will still suck but it will be cheaper.'

If you really believe that government is wasteful and incompetent then why NOT make it small and cheap?

8. Well, they'd put an oil executive in charge of the environment.
