Is there anything the government does well business wise? The United States government is in charge of protecting us and a case can be made that they do a good job of that. But other than going to war and maybe controlling the police, I find it difficult to think of anything the government does successfully.
The post office used to be the one business that was run well but that has declined in recent years too. Competitors from the private sector such as UPS and Fed Ex have been able to cut into the market share of the post office because it is now poorly run. The price of stamps seems to go up every year and yet the post office continues to be unable to make money.
Without any good examples of the US government operating a successful business, they are now proposing to take over the college loan business. President Obama wants to take student loans out of the hands of all the private companies and completely turn them over to the government. This is just one of a number of things the people in government think they can do better than the private sector.
There are many questions to be asked about why we should let something like this happen. One of the things that few people want is people in Washington that are already so removed from reality, deciding which of our children will get loans. This is something that will only end poorly and it is something that we should avoid. The government already makes way to many decisions in our life.
All people who live in America need to carefully consider our freedoms and how they are slowly being taken away from us. The government is there to serve us and not to dictate what happens in our lives. College loans are more important than ever with the price of college being so high and the decision of who does and does not get a loan should never be decided by the government.
