tended to push the tolerance-band boundaries of government intervention, but not to the hyperbolic level you claim. Again, I refer you to more enlightened Democrats like Sam Liccardo who explains on his site how he, as SJ Mayor, cut back on regulations to allow more affordable housing...faster. Improvements can be made without placing one's trust in a Laissez-Faire "Market Based" strategy that pays no attention whatsoever to all the millions of "Little Guys"...the ones that only Government can actually help.
