I propose some regulation, yes.

Isn't it obvious that laizez faire capitalism doesn't work?

A little premature dont you think? What makes you think he could be even more than mediocre at best? What has he done in your opinion thus far that would get him even in the running? And when you say one of the greatest whose company would he be in?

It is too early to tell. That's why I left it open to opinion based predictions between one of the greatest and the greatest of all time.

Let's see how much our dollar is worth in four years before gushing on about how great Obama is.

You mean the dollar is going to be worth something in 4 years? 😛


I say he may time things so that he will get reelected in 4 years. Ever thought about that?

That is why people who abide by the gospel of capitalism or of socialism or of any other kind of "ism" are so dangerous. That is part of why "W" failed. He was against regulation in principle because he viewed it as a conservative principle. However, he then ignored the principles of conservatism by spending us into the ground. As we can see, here is a man sold on the wrong set of conservative principles while ignoring others. Regulation is nothing more than a set of checks and balances that was set in place by the Founding Fathers. I think even they would recognize the wisdom in setting up regulatory checks in balances in the business world.
