“Second, the U.S. right is firmly committed to the view that the government is always the problem, never the solution. Republicans will never, ever admit that a government-operated payments system might be better than private-sector alternatives.”
I find this line of thinking to be exceptionally problematic. I really do not like the framing that being small/limited government (in terms of size, scope, power, etc) is a “Right leaning position”. All this does is instantly alienate people who agree with you on 99% of things, but also want the government to be smaller.
