Wall Street Journal, of All Places, On Re-Regulating the Economy

"The housing and financial crisis convulsing the U.S. is powering a new wave of government regulation of business and the economy...In fact, some proponents today of a bigger oversight role for government are Republican heirs to the legacy of President Reagan."

The pendulum's swinging back: toward a strong, progressive, activist government that does more to make the playing field fair. It's what people want.

"By a 53%-to-42% margin, Americans want government to "do more to solve problems," according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released Wednesday. A dozen years earlier, respondents opposed government action by a 2-to-1 margin."

(Young Americans support this idea even more).

Anya also deletes comments that she doesn't "like" or that don't fit into her liberal ideology. That's great. Maybe you should start a liberal dictatorship. You need to disappear from the public stage now!

As much as I can’t stand the useless nonsense you post on Yahoo Finance, I can’t stand plagiarism even more, having written several software packages in my life which I’ve had to defend the IP for endlessly. Anywhow, I saw a woman named Ulrich or something like that on “Right on Your Money” on CNN on Saturday (?) who said she wrote your book. You might want to check that out.
