Arrogance

John, you're a credit to your profession, and practically the only journalist I trust any more. Keep up the good work.

So are you actually in favor of an unregulated economy, in spite of the past eight years, or more, showing just how well THAT works? What's more arrogant; trying to reign in the mess, or pretending that all's well with the old "let the economy run itself" lying crap? Waste your own money with the CEOs and market pundits who came up with Reaganomics. I’m, sure they’ll be delighted to get it. But put some controls on the morons who manage my money at least. Hell yes I want a regulated economy, and if the bankers won’t do it then the government must.

Dear Darrel,

You have been deceived. I recommend that you read the "Uncle Eric" series by Richard Mayberry, starting with "Whatever happened to Penny Candy". Followed up by, "Economics in One Lesson". If you can read both those books and still think the way that you do, then there would be nothing that could be done about your cognative dissonance.

Darrell, what deregulation? And if regulations are so good for the economy, why are European banks, which are some of the most regulated in the world, doing just as bad as we are?

The problem Darrell, besides your inability to hit the submit button just once, is that the we did not have an unregulated "free" market during the Bush years. It was regulation that favored companies you dislike and some abused it. Just as now there is favoritism being thrown left and right by this administration.

Darrell, it has been shown on more than one occasion that markets are more predictable without government intervention. The only good thing a government can do is help soften the peaks and valleys (ie: purchasing excess grain from farmers who may have had an unprecedented growing season) You point at the last 8 years and say "see" but you don't realize that this steamroller actually got its push long ago when we started forcing free markets to do things unnatural (most recently giving home loans to people with work history that wouldn't support payback) So get a few books on economics, audit some classes at a university, and then make an informed comment. (By the way, this is a moderated comment form, so it takes a few minutes for your comments to post... duh)

What everyone is hiding in secrecy is the source of their found power in the last 12 years and more and that is the power of the new knowledge I have shared that must be shared with everyone not just some who arrogantly claim it and without crediting the source of their power they become exactly as you said: arrogant! Altough I believe that election of President Obama will ultimately be a positive change in our history putting an end to a dark mark of American history, I believe there is a much deeper slavery and bondage going on by bullying & discriminating of a few who have monopolized my pioneering knoweldge and do not share it with others creating supremacy I wanted to put an end to!

John for Chairman O to even dream of thinking this way is statist in the least and demented at the worst.

Proverbs 16:18 says it best:

"Pride goes before a fall and a haughty spirit before destruction."

I marvel at the arrogance.

Who's; Yours?

Creighton,
I will have to get those books just to have on hand for people like Darrell, sadly, there are a lot of people like Darrell. :(

Well stated. Some regulation can be very damaging. CFR, Sarbanes-Oxley, Fannie, Freddie, etc. Maybe regulating the Fed may be a good regulation.
