"I don't think government can improve the economy. If government intervention can improve economic performance and get us out of recession, is it not stupid to wait for recession in order to capture the benefits of government economic policies? But then, if government intervention can improve economic performance and increase the rate of growth, how come socialist/welfare states consistently perform worse than free-market economies?" -- Steve Pejovich

Not to mention the well documented history of the American subsidization of such socialist regimes for decades before they finally flopped. Even Cuba, insofar that we subsidized the USSR, arguably from its outset.

peaceably
