There would be a gigantic backlash against the pace of change even if we were living during good economic times.

The irony here is that it was "intrusion" by the private sector that caused this, as their greedy antics wrecked home values, retirement accounts, employment and everything that goes with them for the vast majority of Americans.

Talk about voting against self-interest. The private sector is the magical, ever-efficient savior of us all except when they collectively march us off a cliff. We've only had two major investment bubbles in less than ten years, right?

But still we should trust that GS, GM, WMT and Aetna really have nothing but our best interests at heart.

It's becoming laughable in the light of current events.
