Actually, 4 leads to 5.
Only in the conservative pipe dream where the benevolent and perfect free market creates abundance for all if only the evil government could be destroyed. In reality, deregulation has been a disaster for the American economy and it caused the most recent meltdown. Had the evil government not gotten involved, the auto industry would have gone belly up along with the financial sector and that would have killed a lot of jobs. Now, there's a lot with the bailouts that I would have done differently. Too much was given away to the corporations with nothing asked in return other than eventual payback. But deregulation nearly drove us into another depression and the government saved the day.
