This doesn't mean that putting the government in charge of any given thing is a good idea, or a bad idea -- just that it can be done and sometimes it works. This is useful to remember whether you are generally for or against government involvement, or for or against a particular program/issue/proposal. Know your context.

I'm still trying to figure out how the Republican Party (conservatives) and the Libertarian Party (anarchists) came to be sharing so many platform points.
I've also noticed that Congress members who condemn "socialized medicine" are all benefitting from it themselves. They just don't want the public to enjoy the same privileges they enjoy. If they really feel that it was ZOMG-EEEEVIL, they should turn down their taxpayer-sponsored health package and buy private insurance.
