This is the belief that markets are self-correcting and best left alone. Soros calls this a dangerous siren song. Far from being self-correcting, he emphasizes, markets tend to excess. They over-shoot. Anyone with any experience of markets knows this.

No, no, no! There is no other god but Free Market, and Adam Smith is his prophet ! Bazaar Akbar!

Thanks for the ping along.

Crashing dollar? No problem. The GOPbots will cite that as a benefit of free-trade and the evolutionists will cheer that as proof Darwin was right about survival. The war party will say we got to atom bomb the arabs before they take over the world. The President who is hit with this hurricane will find a lot of places under water.

Aren't we glad that China was made a permanent favored trading partner and we can swap jobs, factories and U.S. securities for cheap consumer goods. Beam me up.

So lemme get this straight... You're on the same side as MoveOn.org's sugar-daddy George Soros?

Okaaaaaaay.

(On a side note, "Bazaar Akbar" is hysterical.)

You're quoting George Soros - a viciously anti-American currency speculator who funds radical left-wing causes, including organizations with known links to terrorists.
That man does not deserve attention - he deserves jail - at best.

And Soros believes he is the only person who knows how to correct this "overshoot", right? What is an "overshoot" anyway?
