the stand of “no regulations” is obviously silly. industrialized societies require regulations to protect people’s interests when people are specialized in their functions. you can’t simply pan the fda unless you are a self sufficient farmer.

this argument is simply a matter of details. in truth, you ‘no-regulation’ people do in fact want regulations but only in the areas in which you directly benefit. the arguments about consumer reports, private regulation is ridiculous; without the truth in advertising *regulations*, consumer reports would be overwhelmed by the industry’s paid publications. who do you think has deeper pockets?

regulations are necessary, but they need to be done well. that is the problem, that is the real issue. regulations that provide for the bailout of lenders are stupid when there aren’t regulations that prevent lenders from being stupid.

conversely, regulations on national businesses or local businesses are detrimental when there are no protections for those businesses from outside competition. but since we need and want local regulations that protect the environment, workers, etc, what we obviously need is to level the playing field by regulating trade. simple, obvious and yet retards all over just don’t get it. instead, it’s racism: those japs dont belong here! or fascism: everything the corporations do is good and if you dont believe in corporations, you’re a com’nist! or pollyannaism: well, *i* dont see the problem so there must not be one. so on and so forth. “we need more private watchdogs”… and yet, without regulation of what those “private watchdogs” say, you still can’t trust them.

oh, i’m sure so many of you approve of the deceptions of telemarketers. except when it’s your grandparents who are skinned, who have to come and live with you because they’ve lost everything and it’s now your responsibility, your burden to bear. we’re all connected, we all pay for the mistakes of the ignorant, for the crimes of thieves. this current housing market is a prime example of how good people suffer when the stupid do their thing.

asia is full of non engineering people. you dont go to japan or korea or china and run into egg heads everywhere.

indians and pakistanis aren’t really asian. siberians are more asian than indian or pakistanis, at least, in the mongoloid respect. imo.

talking about asians in generalities is funny. my mailman was asian, he was a nice guy…

is sarbox limbaugh’s latest talking point?

the move overseas has been occuring since before regulation of *accounting practices*. before, it was environmental regulations, minimum wages, employee rights, etc etc. perhaps you’d rather work 16 hour days for peanuts eating tainted sausage and living in a rat infested company apartment?

this is the second time you’ve used a result of deregulation as a reason for even less regulation; companies are free to move overseas due to the lack of trade restrictions.

how do investors protect themselves from co’s who lie? who cook the books? what about fund managers who make investments for you? do you do all your own homework on companies in which your 401k or pension is invested?

i bet you’d love the privatization of social security too. to give people the “ability” to invest their social security in the stock market. while at the same time removing regulations on accounting, marketing, whatever. boo hoo if people “chose” poorly, out on the street they go. no matter if snake oil corporation lied up and down about who they are, what they do and how much they make. too f’ing bad, eh?

You seem to be contradicting the point of the doctor and making my point. It was actually government intervention by artificially depressing interest rates that has led to this min-disaster!

no one is regulating/overseeing the fed. the fed is not the government although they may have influence with and may be influenced by. they are a supreme agency in this country.

you accept that the fed’s actions have a part in the housing bubble. you believe that the bubble is bad. knowing now that the fed are not regulated and that their unregulated actions have had dire consequences, you must accept that regulation is necessary.

So, I’ll pass on the hyper-regulation card. Despite its occasional mini-disasters, deregulation and competition has been an essential force in improving the American-way-of-life. Sure, have the government use its muscle if need be (with prosecution and civil enforcement), but don’t hamper our economy with needless regulation and causing millions of jobs to melt away to more stream-lined economies in Asia.

so you agree: regulations are necessary. because… no one is calling for “needless” regulation.

edit: “regulations” for us peons is called The Law. laws that pertain to business are called “regulations” in order to give negative connotations. ie., businesses having to abide regulations are being hampered whereas businesses having to abide by the law are not.
