If the government got out of the business entirely, and just adjudicated fraud and other criminal activity, the public would be getting health care quality and advancements on par with the nation's computer industry, and it would give Pete more time to read the CATO Handbook for Congress. Pete continues to harp on the Cable television industry, one almost entirely controlled by legislation, guaranteeing that it will have failings which will keep Pete busy writing legislation to fix what he's broken. In August Pete's update was rather scant. Well, of course congress did something, and passed the bipartisan silliness we have today, which promises to balance the budget next century. Pete continues to reveal how far off the mark his political philosophy is.
