Excuse to meddle


Another justification
Look for a many more articles like this one.

Opinions like that keep the politicos and bureaucrats meddling.

Yes, the companies were money grubbing greed heads.

But Congress changed the laws to make it possible.

It's a classic example of how the best intentions can destroy.

And if you believe a certain segment of the blogosphere that is inspired by Rush Limbaugh, the meltdown was deliberately triggered by Democrat leaders in an "October surprise" to distract attention from the success in Iraq. I wouldn't go that far, but there is no doubt that Congress is weaseling out of their responsibility.

It's an old pattern repeated again and again. I've said it before.

Congress created more problems.

And now, the only method that anyone is talking about to solve the new problems is more regulation and more governmental control.

<snip>

This should be a familiar pattern by now. Congress takes on a "moral" or "ethical" problem. The new laws and regulations have devastating effects and end up promoting the very type of behavior that Congress tried to stop.

Prohibition. The War On Drugs. The Anti-Trust Act. The Environmental Protection Act. The various Federal gun control laws. The income tax.

Always it makes the problem worse. Always the only "practical" solution is more control.

We need to stop them before they legislate again.

Otherwise this will be a Greater Depession.
