I agree we are living under a mini-Black Market right now, the final blow being the repeal of Glass-Steagall in 1999. I doubt even Clinton understood the ramifications as Greenspan was balls out anti-regulation and Sommers was his point man in Wall street. We are supposed to be a mixed market economy but the free traders see it differently and no regulation is their mantra (see libertarian). You can deny this, but then you don't listen to what the right is saying. What was it that Reagan said? Government IS the problem, and the idiots took it to heart.
Libertarians do NOT believe that gov should not create laws at all. They do belive that gov should not create regulations when there is no wrong that needs correcting. Can you name any regulation at all that is needed but does not involve a wrong that needs to be righted?
P.S. Hi everyone! I am back from vacation and glad to be home again
