"We’ve survived other idiotic administrations and economic crises. We’ll survive this one and adapt as only the free market can."
I agree, unfortunately we seem to be missing the opportunity to do much more than merely survive. If we could combine a "hands off" approach to government with the current entrepreneurial explosion, the sky would be the limit.
That is not in the Leftist play book. They are smarter than us and their meddling is in our best interests.
Sadly, even guys like Barry Ritholtz who otherwise get it are calling for more regulation of the financial industry. Would two cops ignoring the crime have made the crime less serious?
I mean SOX is a disaster and the new taxation on commodities will just lead to higher food prices for the average person.
Smaller, less intrusive government is simply too scary for some to contemplate.
