I see since the government managed to oversee the successfull landing of a spacecraft on Mars one must be crazy to not want the government to keep subsidizing medicine and higher education just because the cost of both continue to expand at twice the rate of inflation as the quality of both deteriorates. It is a fallacy to think that because government manges to accomplish something it is the best entity to accomplish everything.
