Roubini Attacks Bailout, But Misses Boat on Regulation

Jim Bunning is pompous *&^. He's a ranking member of the Senate committee on banking and housing, blaming everyone else for the worst banking and housing crisis in half a century. Well there's a shocker: a politician blaming everyone else. Maybe if he had been a little more of a "socialist" and actually regulated banking and housing, there wouldn't be a need for bailouts. He's doubly pompous for his remark about no longer having a free market. The US has never been a true free market in any theoretical sense, at all.
