Manufacturing Activity Hits a 28-Year Low

It is no wonder our markets have tanked. Prosperous markets are free markets that respect voluntary trade without coercion from governments.

CEO's that try to rig the system in their favor are about as welcome as an NFL team owner who makes big money making side bets on games. Take the CEO of Nucor, for instance. He is asking for the Obama "stimulus" bill to include a 'buy America' clause. It takes brazen balls and a solid lack of good sense to plead that the feds to interfere more in free markets than they are already.

No wonder most big investors in the market have taken their ball and gone home.
