Steve's barking at the dumbing down of America

How can anybody say that America s dumbing down after all more and more of the populous are graduating college.? The reason I can say that is the  overwhelming  majority of the country believe in the fantasy that the government just gets in the way and only business creates jobs. People forget that if it wasn't for government half this country wouldn't have electricity. We have to thank our socialist President Roosevelt for that. Would we have computers and the Internet if it wasn't for government? If you listen to the Monday morning quarterbacks on the boob tube the government had nothing to do with it. After all there college graduates so they must be right. We as a nation are starting to believe the fantasy. We blame the SEC for the collapse of our financial system, while not taking a harsh look at Moody's, and Standard and Poors. Enron almost destroyed the economy of California and the private industries that are there.  Speaking of Enron it seems to me the great government agency Arther Anderson certified the soundness of the company.Oh that's right it's was a private concern.
Let me state this true ism right now, the only reason for a business is to make money, not to create jobs, not to create social justice, nor to make life better.
Because of the true ism one business can harm another business or even destroy another industry ( I understand this is hard to compute, I'll explain at another time).
You know a lot of the time government even helps industry ( I know that's another concepts that's hard to understand).
Can government get in the way and hurt job growth by over regulation? As Sara Palin would say "You Betcha".  Of cause it's not the overwhelming job killer that the majority of the populous would have you believe.
