JUstaguy ... the DOE may do more today ... "but" the reason Carter gave to justify it when it was established was because of the oil embargo when we were only importing about 30% of our oil use. So the primary mission failed misserably just like most government run programs. Other than the military, which I think is run extremely well run, I can not think of anything else that I can say the government does well (can you?). I always look to hire ex military people and recuit JMO's every year for a management training program.

The point of the article was just that ... why would we ever want the government to run more like our healthcare system, auto industry, banking or anything else.

I firmly believe Obama's grand plan to address all this wasteful spending and huge, huge, huge deficits is to nationalize major industries and businesses. That way taxes on a portion of their profits do not matter since he will get 100%. But we all know (well most of us do) it will not work that way.
