De-personalize and think policy: in both cases here you're favoring limiting economic freedom (and its consequences) in favor of 'state' control So the only question you should be asking is how much 'state control'? As I've said, the American public has answered this one for us: as much state control as is necessary to prevent or recover from a crisis. So the policy question to you is simple: do you think that crisis - and its consequences - should be part of the natural cycle? If you say: "yes, I think the US can and should tolerate crisis uncontrolled by the state" then you favor no anti-trust, no TARP, no SEC, et al. If you don't think the US can and should tolerate crisis, then you're lying to yourself when you say you Obama is spending too much. When you think with principles instead of politics these things will become clear to you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:292559 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
