There is a larger problem with unregulatd capitalism few ever consider. To a large degree it undermines democracy.

It is important for all of us to remember, that demcracy is the single greatest invention of the human species and must be protected at all times.

Economic systems and the character of our welfare state, will always change and evolve constantly, but it is important for us to always conduct that change within the frame work of a strong democracy.

>>koan,
another name for the last 8 years is "crony capitalism". It's very similar to fascism and has very serious consequences, as we just found out.

What I find unbelievable is that the very people who created this economic calamity are now upset when Obama applies the medicine to fix it. Shows you how diminished the GOP has become. It really is a shadow of its former self.

Having said that, there are still some good GOP members left. I still like Huckabee, for one. He's a big believer in renewable energy.<<
