The government has managed the economy in some form or another since the
very beginning. And, in spite of what you say, this country with that
government has done pretty darn well over those many years.

Agreed!

But has the country's economy done well because of the government's influence,
or in spite of that influence?

I'm not so sure this country's done all that "well." I think it's quite
obvious we are all paying for that right now...

But, Dwight has other ideas...

All depends what you compare us to, Kim.

I'm not sure what you mean. Please elaborate.

I think Dwight just thinks we can do better than we're doing these days, that's
all.

I guess the answer to that lies in whether you've personally benefited
from that influence or not (or, to some extent, which piece of that
influence you focus on). Certainly corporations and taxpayers aren't always
thrilled by the influence, but those who benefited from the "New Deal,"
cheap transportation on modern highways, the minimum wage, women's
participation in the workplace, and other things that impacted the economy,
may have a slightly different opinion.

No it's more a case of the economy has done well despite the government.
