Do you find this statement true, or false? This is the main claim of the right wing. That Big Government is the primary reason for the feeble recovery. It sure makes alot more sense than lame cries of "greed".
It always has and always will...the dems rule with emotion and the GOP with logic...it's oil and water, right brain/left brain.
I voted false, but it really depends on how you define "big government." I would say "true", if you're interpreting it as the Federal Reserve and Wall Street's influence on it. I would say "false" if you're interpreting it as regulation. More than anything, the financial sector has paralyzed our economy. Big banking has become incredibly reckless due to things like bailouts. If there's no fear of collapsing due to risky decisions, banks will just continue to take on more risk at the expense of everyone else. Until we fix that, you can expect more bubbles and crashes in the future.
In US, yes, Big government has paralyzed the economy. Too many regulations in the wrong place, normally are disadvantage to small business owners, too many rules we have to comply that slow the growth, but at the same time, not big enough for the big guys like the bankers and corporates. My conclusion: The US government is too big for the majority, but too small for the elites.
