      Can you explain what you mean using other words? I am not great with loose language in general.

        By stating that, it was a component of the government. In that context I was using component loosely.

            All governments have an economic system and each economic system is dependent on some level of government involvement.

              Yes but those economic systems aren’t part of the gov, the gov is part of the economic system

              Bullets are fired by a gun but are not part of a gun

                But, it takes a gun to fire said bullet.

                    ??? The spring mechanism is apart of how a gun functions but the spring isn’t the gun it’s just a part of it. That’s no different from the bullet. We’ve gotten completely sidetracked of the main point.
