    Good. Rapidly the govt. must get out of running all other businesses and mind its own business of playing referee and improving legislation,regulation, in order to provide justice, security of citizens:protections of citizen's rights & security of the borders, provision of common infrastructure for the use of all citizens where private interests may clash with the common interests. "private" - merely means run by the citizens for their mutual benefit.
