The Role of Government in the Economy.

With the ongoing debate about Healthcare and the current efforts to pull the economy out of the doldrums, the question comes up what is the role of government in the free market?

Do some research on the topic and tell me what you feel the government's role should be. This is a subjective topic, but give me a paragraph about what you want the government to do for you. Be sure to look around the world to compare the U. S. government does and what other world leading economies governments do. You can include such things as security, retirement, healthcare, welfare, and employment.

Characterize your paragraph by developing a role of government. You can differentiate between the state and the federal levels if that helps out.
