And Then I Passed Out

The economy is not my strong point. But, the more I think about it, nobody really gets the economy. It doesn't sound like a great idea to rely so much on "finance" as opposed to actual "product." That is, we should work to create actual things, instead of letting our economy waiver because a bunch of paper (aka stock) isn't worth as much as before.

But, what is becoming more and more clear, is that you need regulation of a free market in the real world. In a perfect world, there would be no corruption, everybody would make sound decisions, and everybody would work hard. In the real world, we need to protect the country from the corrupt, the unintelligent, and the lazy.

Bottom Line? So many claim that the free market fixes everything. But where is the proof?
