>> I think its time to burn free markets in effigy. Could you please explain why you live in the United States instead of digging out a nice Communist country to move to? You seem not to like anything about America. If I didn't want free markets, I would get the hell out of here.

"You have no idea how sick I am of the expression: let the free markets take care of the problem." In general, the system works well. However, as we have learned, there needs to be reasonable regulation or we get into boom-bust cycles. It is certainly possible to over-regulate, but under-regulation is possible also. As we are learning. Again.
