Sailaway you need to get out more. You think that somewhat better regulation of a financial market that is in the process of melting down is the same thing as Communist central planning? Sheesh. How ridiculous.

Yes, markets can and do self-regulate. One of the ways they do that is with periodic crashes and meltdowns. We have known for more at least a century (when they invented the Federal Reserve which by the way some called socialism back in the day) how to prevent that without trashing the free market system we all know and love.

It cracks me up when right wing crazies (thats YOU sway) cant imagine ANYTHING between anything-goes-no-regulations-at-all and the goddam communists!

Well here is a news flash. There is a lot of territory between you and the commies. Most of us live there. And are wishing the government would try to prevent financial crashes, because we know how to do it and should.
