well thats ted being ted. I want free markets but before you have them again we have to get out of this mess and govt only guy big enough to do the job now. Free markets left alone cannot fix this. I really want you to consdider this proposition, not blindly reject it. i wrote a paper about southeast asia in 68. i predicted socialism would be the first choice and said marx had it wrong. Socialism became a prereq for cap and dem. China, vietnam and others sort of proving me right. Sometimes its only govt that can provide basic human services. When bellys full folks can think of best system going forward in econ and that is always capitalism.

"None of the liberals on this thread really care, though. They truly believe the free market is dead." Nonsense, Tenchu. You are making that up.

They truly believe the free market is dead. Where did I say the free markets are dead? That's BS. I think its time to burn free markets in effigy. That's right. You're locked knee devotion to free markets is what has gotten us into this mess. There are good things about free markets and thereare the bad. You max the good and minimize the bad. In the last 8 years both were maxed. The problem this country is having now is that you and your R friends are unwilling to own up to your mistakes. Its like dragging a 200 lb weight behind us. And yes, much of the blame falls on you guys whether you want to accept it or not.
