Admittedly the last few years we did have of conservative goverment were fiscal conservative but i suspect our tories will talk a good talk then forget all about it once they gain power..

Vuk isn't what jag said basically true... although by the state crippled i took it to mean powerless... which fits right in with you thinking.. doesn't it ?

and the people fending for themselves part... isn't that the whole point of the free market...

Basically to me jag said his free market thinking would make him fit right in with the USA... you should be delighted with the staement as far as im concerned!

If you were a socailist i could understand your annoyance somewhat...
Either you are wrong, or he has a very awkward way of phrasing things. When you say that the government is crippled, it means that it is in someway broken and powerless. That is not what capitalists want, they want the government to be very strong in its appropriate functions, not weak or crippled. The difference is not the health of the government, it is what those functions are. That is why I got offended.
