Why Is the Government In the Transportation Business?

SEE HERE Government is about the safety of the citizens from enemies within and without and the necessary paraphernalia like police,courts and jails, armies, navies, and air forces to accomplish those responsibilities. It's not about competition with the private sector or the forever expansion of incidental intrusions into the citizens lives telling them what kind of food to buy and what kinds of light bulbs and toilets to own. Government is also addicted to the most colossal wasting of money imaginable. We should throttle them back, very far back and restore the ordinary business of day to day life to the people. We can handle it and it's increasingly evident that government can't.
