I only need to reference one industry to prove that "government intervention" is almost never a good idea.

late '70's early-mid '80's... British Leyland... nuff said.
Uh, so the bullet trains in Japan and Europe and China are now examples of why government intervention is almost ALWAYS a good idea?

Or our success in the space program and in building the interstates and other such ventures.....also proves the same?

One example certainly does not prove anything......a perfect example, IMHO, of anti-intellectualism.
