We should be setting the conditions for economic growth so that the private sector can create jobs. Washington is not good at picking winners and losers, so we shouldn’t try.” GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain echoed the advice. “The government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers because most of the time they pick the losers,” he said.
