The only issue for debate is choosing the “right” octane of moral hazard to put into the tank.”

I am yet to receive a reply.]]> Wed, 08 Aug 2007 18:21:21 -0400 “Put more bluntly, successful capitalism in a democracy is about privatizing much of the upside of booms and socializing the downside of busts.
