i don't think i mentioned anything being legislated the only way government is supposed to be able intervene (and it shouldn't be allowed in the markets) is with law. policy comes out of DC in many ways....executive orders true, but they're only supposed to be used in an emergency. obama uses them like the dictator he is. fed policy FED is 'supposed' to be independent. new laws yes, laws that are almost always counter productive and bring about bad consequences that 'no one could have seen coming'. laws or legislation is how the government intervenes in the market. made up regs yes, common destructive practices by federal agencies like the FDA and EPA. all of it illegal under the constitution. i'm not saying that the government doesn't influence entities like the FED. i think it does. but i'm talking about the bad laws that get passed. it takes years to see the effects. by then, people are usually blaming the wrong thing, instead of correctly blaming the original bad law.
