We keep being told Americans want more government but Gallup polls tell a different story.  What Americans want are more computer companies.

The semiconductor industry, which gets nothing at all from academia, the many overlapping science funding agencies or mandates and subsidies from the government, ranks at the top of 25 business and industry sectors in this new poll.  Yayyy, capitalism.

Who ranks worst?  The Federal government.   This may be the disconnect the current administration has and why approval ratings are so low; they think there is a constituency asking for more government but the people they poll must be a select group - only 17% of people have a positive view of the Fed versus completely deregulated computers at 72%.
