The trust that need to be busted

Blue Virginia isn't sure what to think of Sen. Jim Webb's comments about the Democratic party after the election.
Blue Virginia lauds Teddy Roosevelt's trust-busting of big companies in the early 1900s and would like to see more in 2010.
So would Sarah Palin, I bet. But the hugh organizations that need to be brought to size now are the Democrats' friend - government - not business. Government calls the tune so much and needs to be reined in. Business mostly works inside the rules set by government, while often government fails to keep the rules - deficit spending and exceptions for Congress from the rules they pass.
Remembering Teddy Roosevelt doesn't just mean beating up on business. It's containing the bully, and now that is often government.
If we bust government down to size, then life will improve for the ordinary American.
