		<description><![CDATA[Alan S. Blinder wrote another half witted op-ed about financial regulation and Wall Street&#8217;s return to &#8220;greed&#8221;. As all half witted intellectuals, he recognizes a symptom, but never questions the source. Here is a paragraph where he talks about Adam Smith.

So the death panels are not real? This is your death panel. If government controls health care, either this task [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;ve explained in previous posts, the free market in order to make the most profit utilizes resources to their highest and best benefit. Efficiency reigns. Government always has the opposite effect. Government intervenes in order to divert resources for political means. What this does is lower our economic output and value, in other words, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In most of the play by plays of why this crisis happened, the media has been focusing on Wall Street, mortgage backed securities, CDOs, etc. The question is if this was Wall Street's doing, why did they just start doing this now? Why wouldn't they have done this in the past?]]></description>
