I've been a big supporter of de-regulation and downsizing of government ever since I started voting in the '70s. But like most Americans, I'm angry at how inept our government appears in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
This opinion in the LA Times criticizes Republicans for demonizing big government. We need to look to government to take the lead in rebuilding our cities, not only in New Orleans. While private enterprise and voluntary organizations are wonderful, we need more of an activist government marshalling their energies, not a passive government waiting for the initiative of others.
