I think that the realities of the US economy are convenient for free market proponents.
They get to be in the position of imploring everyone to "let the market handle it," and then when the market fails, as it sometimes does, they always have the out of "well, it's not the market's fault, it's government interference that's to blame."
In other words, the fundamentals of their perspective have the "advantage" of being untestable.
