Classic Stossel: No They Can't

Politicians say “Yes, we can!” and claim that they solve our problems. I say “No THEY can’t!”

Politicians are wrong when they say “Yes, we can,” but the fact that government can’t doesn’t mean that we can’t.

Free people accomplish wonderful things. While government wastes billions on boondoggles like Solyndra, X-prize founder Peter Diamandis explains how private investors have created cars that get 100mpg, space ships, and much faster ways to clean up oil spills, all without charging taxpayers a penny.

Without big government, life can be great.
