I think that the more we try to place regulations on the government or government programs to prevent wrong then the less efficient those programs will be.
However, I think there is a "sweet spot" such that if we regulate to a certain degree and not past that degree that the government and government programs will be fairly unlikely to do something wrong and still fairly efficient.
Just something to think about.

"Fairly"? (just pretend there are a zillion question marks after that first one

)
The federal government needs to stay out of as much of the business, personal, economic world of Americans as possible.
Where exactly is this "sweet spot"? I say it stays within the boundries of the constitution, it doesn't get any "sweeter" than that.
