  • Are the Banks Telling Us the Truth? [View article]
    Sorry, but I'm skeptical that no matter what any bankster has done we'll see anything more from the government than a symbolic wrist slap, if that. At this point it should be obvious to everybody that they're in bed together. This "top cop" business is surely a sham.

  • What Do We Need In 2009? More Failure [View article]
    Many are saying that 2008 marked the failure of capitalism. They're right. Capitalism did fail. The government pretty much finished smothering it to death.

  • Senator Harry Reid: 'No One Knows What To Do' [View article]
    Hey Aalan,

    Since when were Freddie and Fannie creatures of laissez-faire capitalism? Government creations both, and both protected from risk by government from their beginnings.

    And there are plenty of libertarians calling for letting these companies fail. Try lewrockwell.com for starters and then add Ron Paul for good measure.

    Aalan,

    Since when were Freddie and Fannie creatures of laissez-faire capitalism? Government creations both and risk protected by government guarantees from their beginnings.

    And there are plenty of libertarians calling for letting these companies fail. Try mises.org and lewrockwell.com, for starters, and then throw in Ron Paul for good measure.
