Once again – the real culprit here is “Deregulation / Trickle down Theory / Regeanomics”

Sure there are several factors in place that have proliferated the belief that “Deregulation” works in the Market place but that is the root cause of our current economic crisis.

Ask yourself 1 simple question: “Would America be a Free Society without Laws”

If there were no laws, no police officer standing on the corner would you feel safe to leave your home, go cash a check, drive across town. So what makes anyone think this type of philosophy works in Banking, Wall St, Crude Oil Trading, or the Energy Market.

We have plenty of examples why it does not

1. Good analogy.

We don't expect American society to operate properly without laws, why do some people expect American business to do so?

2. No doubt about it

only fools and idiots would see it otherwise

3. You'll never get a republican to agree to this. Ever.

After all, Reagan is their demigod.

5. 22% that is the extent of the RATpublicon Faithful today

I want the other 78% to understand "Unequivocally that Deregulation / Trickle Down Theory / Regeanomics has brought this country to it's knees"

6. That is it in a nut shell. They will never ever ever ever admit that raygun was wrong!

4. Monetary Economics

Nixon fooled with it but a bad economy backed him off. But not the Ra-Gun boys.
