Reply #26: They are only involved because they were forced to do it [View All]

[Karl_Bonner_1982]

By avoiding modest regulation in the first place, we set ourselves up for the need to have a massive intervention, i.e. bailout, further down the road.

I truly hope that this hard lesson is the key for Americans to learn that we need more, not less, government involvement in the economy: more regulation to stabilize the financial system, more rules with regard to media consolidation and bias, stronger labor unions to fight for the rights of workers and a larger share of the pie, and more redistributive taxation to address inequality and provide fair and equal educational opportunities in disadvantaged communities.
