QUOTE (Lancaster Online @ Nov 11 2008, 11:45 AM)  I’m not wild about the recent bailout, either. Again, while many folks are debating the de-regulation issue as an allegedly prominent cause, they are overlooking a more important aspect: The level of greed and mismanagement that is being tolerated at many levels of public and private corporations. Welcome back to the political discussion...I would have liked to have heard more from you in the leadup to the election. WRT the quoted segment...I suspect the re-regulation crowd is thinking like me .It is because they do recognize the level of greed and mismanagement that they identify de-regulation as the cause of the current crisis. They know that just such a thing is to be expected without regulation....I have always argued that the communist system was destined to fail because it did NOT recognize or account for human greed...and likewise, I believe unfettered capitalism is destined to fail for the very same reason, though allowed to manifest itself differently...we need "fettering" ...and this is called regulation... |

Thanks, though I usually try to fly under the radar when it comes to pre-election discussions. And I'm not opposed to regulation, for the great explanation regarding "unfettered" systems you provided. I just think along with all of the proposed "cures" there is a frank discussion and attempts to deal with the basic "ills" as well. Even the post-bailout behavior of some of the principals involved seems to me to show a glib "well, we're still above it all" attitude that should be addressed. Maybe that's just my educational background of "really, there ought to be some consequences so you at least realize you screwed up and at best learn something from the experience." I just don't see that here. This post has been edited by csmedley: Nov 11 2008, 01:48 PM |
