This article in World Magazine reminded me of that fact. Unfortunately, there are plenty of Republicans- the party of smaller government, remember?- who are all for a less than free and fair market, at least in some cases. Hey, you have to keep the folks back at home happy, right? I very much doubt my state's senators and representatives will be fighting too hard for a truly free market any time soon. Pork may clog your arteries, but it sure tastes good. . .
