let the (free) market handle this

Hasn't been a free market since 1929.

Correct. That’s why I put the word “free” in brackets.

You are dead right. Just finished reading Milton Friedman's “Free to Choose” and we are sooo far from a free market economy, it's hard to believe. Time to split the country in my view, let the libs have the east and west coast and we'll take the south and Midwest. Let's just imagine which country would be more successful, libs or conservatives.
