A Great Comment From Buck O'Fama

A commenter over at PJM's Roger Simon post:

“…the state is not simply dependent upon capital, but has its own particular interests.”

Absolutely. I have to laugh when leftists argue that government can make more equitable decisions than private actors because it doesn’t have a profit motive. Yes, but there ARE other motives, ones just as insidious and self-serving as excessive greed. And what’s worse, they are far less obvious to the general population than avarice.
