See, I'm for socialised everything, being, you know, a socialist. :)
I don't think the government should necessarily own anything, but should subsidise a LOT. The fact of the matter is, we're better off when the government does nothing more than provide the funds for better educated and better trained people to do their jobs well.
So subsidise transportation, but still let private construction companies build the roads; subsidise health care, but don't tell the doctors who to treat or how to treat them; subsidise education, but let the teachers design the curriculum. And so on.
