[quote]Over these decades, and among the "people in charge", virtually nobody in France figured what "those stupid Americans" have known for some time: that the government can't be the solution to our problems, considering it is the problem.

If one considers the popularity of the leading Democratic canidate here in the United States this may well be a history lesson than will have to be relearned. The Republican Party here which has stood for smaller government and less regulation has also started a trend towards the "nanny" government which I find worrisome. Hopefully the United States will never devolve quite as deeply as the European countires but there are signs that it's drifting that way.
