In her article "GOP policies to blame", Froma Harrop echoes a statement made by President Obama that "only government can pull us out of the economic swamp".  I would remind Ms. Harrop that it was government interference on the free market that created and exacerbated the current morass; expecting the government to spend its way out of it is rather like expecting an alcoholic to drink himself sober.  History has shown time and again that free market capitalism is the best path to economic prosperity, not government activism.
