Hey! Teacher! Leave those banks alone!

The markets fell. All because B. Hussein Obama is continuing to try and dip his fingers into the private pie. Good one!

President Obama wants to curb banks risk-taking, so that "the taxpayer will never be at the mercy of a bank too big to fail." I wish the taxpayers were not at risk of a government too stupid not to fail.

It's not the government's job to tell the banks what risks they can and can't take. The only people who should be determining that are the shareholders. Banks are not going to take moronic financial risks, because they are in business TO MAKE A PROFIT. Furthermore, if a bank *does* fail, I don't want to pay for it.

Now there were myriad reasons that so many did fail. Admittedly, some of them took risks, maybe even moronic ones. Especially with mortgages. Of course, the fed's manipulation of the dollar and the interest rates didn't help. The beauty of private industry, or "capitalism", is that it takes care of itself. Government intervention is *not* required.

If a bank, or a car company, or anything else, fails, that's a *good* thing. Propping it up, or nationalizing it is a BAD idea. It's a waste of taxpayer dollars. When a company fails, it means one of two things. 1)The management had no clue what they were doing, or 2)The product was not in enough demand.

So, who should regulate banks, car companies, and any other business? THE MARKET.

Not the government, the market.

Government = no. Market = yes.

Government bad. Market good.

Government < Market.

Government {BUZZ}. Market {DING DING DING} Show him what he's won, Johnny!

Is that clear enough for you?
