Do Americans really wish for the most inefficient instrument, government, to intervene into so many arenas?
Have we become that lazy and disillusioned in market systems?
If by some miracle the Dems lose, which I'm not predicting, maybe then we could have a moderate for just once. Otherwise we could see a decade of socialization and a downturn in the economy.

Bill CLinton? You did not think he was moderate? He coopted half the Republicans platform which is one of the reasons he was so reviled by them.
Also, you did not notice that for 28 of the last 40 years we have had Republican presidents? The public has clearly moved to the right, especially in the last 30 years.
