One has to remember, that in the US you also have the right to fail. There is no guarantee of outcome. And until the New Deal and the Great Society, this country was the better for the idea that you can dail as easily as succeed. For it is the fear of failure that prompts people to work their butts off to try and succeed. But at no time are we ever guaranteed success. Now with the New Deal and it’s ultimate successor, the Great Society, we have thoroughly screwed up that fine balancing act. The moment government steps in and “fixes” the problem, more problems arise and it becomes apparent that like a good schister mechanic, the original problem wasn’t truly fixed, just made to look and sound better until it becomes the next mechanic’s problem.
