There seems to be a belief that removing regulation from programs means that they will run better. That, as the banking industry has just confirmed, is not the case at all.

If the community does not have faith in the government services they are getting, they could start to take matters into their own hands. That is a risk that creates even more possibility of chaos and people acting out of control. The community must be safe from harm and only effective government regulation is capable of doing just that.

When the agency is one that provides health care or human...
