Because without regulation, accounting firms were auditing themselves. Banks were allowing themselves to perform under ludicrous reserve/lending ratios, the prevailing winds said that risk no longer was a factor in investment and the greatest Ponzi scheme of CDO's and Mortgage backed securities and deregulated ratings agencies who gave triple A ratings to toxic debt bundles, and that whole let's wipe a few trillion dollars off the value of everything experience, still wasn't enough to educate schmucks like you that your less is more, the market knows best philosophy is nothing but a crock of shyte!?
You completely ignored the fact that the industries we regulate the most are the ones we as a society are most dissatisfied with. There comes a time to recognize that government intrusion often simply makes thing worse.
Give me f'.ing strength.....!

Originally posted by kmax87Your interpretation is contrary both contrary to fact and assumes its conclusion. America did well after the Great Depression because unless you have 2017 style over regulation economies always do well AFTER recessions. All recessions aren't caused by failure to regulate and they aren't all caused by abuses by businesses. Not all economic transactions are profitable, people lie on loan applications governments pressure institutions to loan to people who aren't credit worthy, people lose jobs or have other reasons to fail to pay things they promised.

It's time to stop with the endless red tape of regulation and government picking winners and losers and let a little more pf the benefits of free market.

Why don't you tell everyone who fought to have this passed through Congress?
Go ahead.
We're waiting.
Here's a clue:
It was HILLARY CLINTON, as US Senator from New York.
clinton, just as with gay marriage, got on board when it was politically convenient.

There must be some limit in your mind to how much you must pay for others.
you are already paying for "others". you have more military spending than the next 20 or so countries COMBINED. that's the biggest social program in the world, not just in the country. there must be some limit in your mind how much you must pay for THAT

A medical services organization can operate as a successful non-profit corporation while its employees are paid salaries and have benefits that are competitive with for-profit medical services organizations. Taking out the corporate shareholder profit motive both saves money and minimizes the issue of ownership interests conflicting with employee and member interests.. An example is Kaiser Permanente which provides care to over 11 million members.
But we all know what zahlanzi's thread is about, it's been done a hundred ties here, it's about removing choices and forcing control freak ideals.

also a poor debater, but i guess that comes with the dumbness. do you think nobody would notice you deflecting the issue?
you are still the richest country in the world, spending an obscene amount of money on your military while claiming there are none for healthcare or education.

Originally posted by ZahlanziObviously you are lying. The US spend plenty on education and healthcare. There is never a point when a free loader like yourself won't ask for someone else to pay their bills.

Originally posted by quackquackthe fact that schools lack textbooks and other supplies, that college education is hilariously expensive, that teachers have salaries they can barely live on proves that you either have no clue what "plenty" means or that you are enough of a jerk to not care and really believe the current state of education is enough.

as for healthcare, under the current proposed healthcare plan 24 million americans will lose their coverage and not only that, but 880 billions worth of tax breaks will be given to the richest americans, of which, i am sure, your moronic ass will see little, if any. in conclusion, you are so idiotic that you think the current level of spending in healthcare is not only adequate but in fact too high that it could afford to lose 880 billions.
if i were to guess from how ignorant your posts are, you can't be making that much a year. if i were a gambler i would say there is a high chance you don't realize you might be one of those 24 million americans losing their healthcare.
