- I would be willing to bet that you are for better government, not necessarily less.
- Less government was the savings and loan crisis. They deregulated the industry (which
- isn't necessarily bad) but then decided that because there were less regulations,
- they would need less regulators. Unfortunately that is not usually true. If you
- have less regulations you need more regulators to make sure that the regulations
- still existing are carried out.

- But this digresses slightly from the somoli discussion.
