When government programs aren't working, those on the Left tend to support more funding, while those on the Right want to scrap them altogether. It is better to ask whether the problem is complexity and poor design. We can solve those problems - sometimes without spending a penny.

The role of government is to steer us in the right direction, not do all the work for us.

Governments are not always right.

Just as the left has to be more willing to question 'Government knows best,' the right has to rethink its laissez-faire attitude toward government.

Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

Wherever there is interest and power to do wrong, wrong will generally be done.

Politicians often misuse science for political ends and to pursue their own agenda.

Sometimes people with strong ideology, whether left-wing or right-wing, refuse to do something simply because they believe it is wrong, when doing it actually benefits them. For some people, it's not just about money and political power.

Nothing for the Left, nothing the government does is ever about its superficial reason; it's only and always about expanding government power and control over you.

Without a unified political climate of opinion, there is little or no political profit in doing the right thing.
