When Ronald Reagan took office in 1981, he observed in his Inaugural Address (no doubt not ever read and instinctively repudiated by Barrack Gorbachev) that "government is not the solution; government is the problem."

I’d never heard of Tico Moreno before, but in his article entitled "Government failed America, not the capitalist system," he clearly shows how government initiatives and intervention (not lack of regulation, as according to the current dogma) caused all the messes we’re currently experiencing, from Detroit to Wall Street to Main Street.

Well done, Tico, your article is succinct and hits the nail on the head.
