Only have to look at how the Eisenhower govt built the interstate hwy system... big business just looked on in support (this is only a few years after the big automakers were caught dismantling many of the large intercity tram systems.. so that everyone had to buy a car in live in the burbs)
but if govt. has no place in business - which has been a keystone of the republican policy - it certainly has no place in bailing out banks, or too big to fail INSURANCE companies whose expertise is SUPPOSED TO BE RISK ASSESMENT.
