Re: Meghan McCain Slams Christine O'Donnell Seen as 'Nutjob'

>It was the deregulation of many institutions through the last several decades.

Please be SPECIFIC.
I contend that NOTHING has been 'deregulated'. At best, they have
been RE-regulated.

Even your assertions regarding banking, electric and mortgage are
nonsensical as
these are, were and remain HEAVILY regulated by the Government. It
*is* in fact
these regulations that create/cause problems.

Regulation - which is based on force and fear - undermines the
moral base of business dealings. It becomes cheaper to bribe a
building inspector than to meet his standards of construction.
A fly-by-night securities operator can quickly meet all the
S.E.C. requirements, gain the inference of respectability, and
proceed to fleece the public. In an unregulated economy, the
operator would have had to spend a number of years in reputable
dealings before he could earn a position of trust sufficient to
induce a number of investors to place funds with him. Protection
of the consumer by regulation is thus illusory. -- Alan Greenspan
