Depends on how it is done. Since the government bail out of Chrysler
corporation it has become the most profitable American car company.
Government protection of the American microcircuit industry allowed it to
flourish and a computer industry as well. The government created the
internet which you are using to send EMail.

Every country has its strengths. It does not seem quite fair to denigrate
everything because of problems in some areas. It would be similar to
knocking of all of U.S. manufacturing because of the inability to
profitably build a television, a reliable Jeep, a decent camera or a ton of
steel without using more energy and 4 times as much water as Germany does.
