Right? Any time something in the public sector goes wrong, people are quick to blame it on the government. Greed is the problem, they say. If, in fact, that problem is caused by the market, then it is the fault of "government meddling with economy." If it is clear that a handful of businessmen caused the problem, then people call for "getting government out of our personal lives." It's almost as if the free market can do no wrong.

We live in such a bought-and-paid-for world that I can't help but chuckle when someone blames the "government" for many of the problems of today.
