Someone a lot smarter than me made a point regarding regulation that makes sense to me. The economy is clearly and has clearly been regulated–just look at all the sox requirments in place now. Its a joke to think that we have had anything near a “free market”. The current economic problems were not caused by a free market, but by a mis-regulated market. More regulation is not the fix. Why should we trust the same government that mis-regulated the market in the first place to get it right this time around?
