I would say that you are mis/uninformed about the history of healthcare, student loans, and financial securities in the US, and the role the US government played in screwing up each of those industries. But, I see that I’m on an ml community somehow, so I know that would fall on deaf ears, because government is part of capital or whatever. So instead I’ll just say we probably don’t share any points of commonality in our world view, take my slew of downvotes, and bid you good day.

It falls on deaf ears because we already know how most people think things work, because we used to think the same, because we went through the same indoctrination/miseducation as everyone else. But we eventually figured out that it’s bullshit, that it’s a civil mythology.
The government doesn’t just exist in a vacuum as you seem to think. It represents the interests of those who hold power in a particular society. In the US, it is the capital owning class, and these are the people who decide to cut your healthcare, to gouge you for education, and so on. The government simply exercises their will. Entire books have been written on the subject, yet here you are confidently attempting to debate a topic you clearly haven’t spent even a few minutes thinking about.
Also, if a large central government was the problem, then we’d see the same kind of shit happening in China that’s happening under capitalist regimes.

It’s fascinating how liberals think that we’ve just never thought of things from their point of view.
They think we just fell out of a coconut tree, and don’t exist in the context of all in which we live and what came before us.
