Do you think the government should get involved in business

The issue of how much government should be involved in the economy has been the subject of much debate in Canada. In the United States, ideology has played a major role in influencing Americans to believe that, in principle, the government should “butt out.” This thinking ignores the significant role that the U.S. government has played and continues to play in the country’s economy. (In comparison, the governments in France and Sweden are more socialistic in nature.) In Canada, we are less negative and perhaps more pragmatic: If it works, let’s do it. But where do we go from here? Do we need less or more government involvement? Is it a question of the quality of that involvement? Could it be smarter rather than just less? How can the cost of government involvement decrease?
