i love how his response to your sincere comment was but , hitler . God fucking damn it liberalism is screwed . <| sep |> Well if this is true they won ' t be saying that for very long <| sep |> So are you apparently ! You are in shape lady ! Very beautiful . <| sep |> ChooktersIf you mean Teuchters we have our own great festivals away from the smelly central belt thanks . If you meant something else carry on . <| sep |> Very conservative Republican checking in here . Yes , Clinton did his part but deregulation under Clinton and continuing under Bush reflected a trend starting arguably with Marquette vs . First of Omaha in the late 70 ' s . Laws enacted in the early 20 th century prohibiting taking bets on the stock market were put in place to keep financial institutions and the public from enaging in acts like the bets we saw with derivatives era . I remember having to do some serious soul searching on my stance of free market capitalism during this time . In the end , I became more of an Adam Smith type economics guy where government has a role to play as long as it is defined and limited . My thoughts today would be that government needs to act as a referee ensuring the rules of the game are followed , enforced , but not picking winners and losers . The market collapse was the culmination of the referees letting the players make the rules and enforce them .
