You should argue with Burger. He's one of your co-partisans, not mine.

I am a big believer in the free market because it does a great job of making markets more efficient (it allocates resources the most efficiently). The best way to provide cheap and quality products to consumers is with a free market. Command economies, and their progency like subsidies and tariffs suck. However, there needs to be regulations to protect health and safety of both consumers and workers, because that is one place the market ain't so great. Free Markets also doesn't address externalities very well. Kalamazoo can elect to protect is citizens more than than the Federal government, but it cannot lessen the federal protections, nor can the federal government stop Kalamazoo from trying to give further protection to their citizens.
That pretty much sums it up doesn't it Sidd?
