This is 2009 not 1929------80 years have passed since 1929.

1929 is the bogey man that Obama and his Chicago crowd are using to take over the government and the country.

Take a gander at this link--------we no longer trade 8 million shares per day as in 1929 nor about 12 million as it was in 1970's.

It is impossible to regulate and control the trading markets and economy in minute detail as the socialists desire.

The minute regulation that you likely advocate would take millions of regulators to implement creating a government that cannot be afforded nor desired----wanted.

No in 1929 we didn't have an unregulated market.

Also you didn't answer his question. You didn't say what was wrong with an unregulated market.

Personally I think a totally unregulated market would be a bad idea, but its also a major strawman, since we haven't had one and almost no one is proposing one.

A lightly regulated market OTOH would be a good idea.
