The ineptitude and perhaps blind faith of the government in itself.



The government is made up, after all, of emotional human beings. They can be rational, if it suits them. What suits a politician? besides Armani.

By the way I've been hoping to order more technical books. If anyone has a recommendation on Python 3.1+ programming I'd love to hear it. Leaning towards this one, but hoping it's not too far ahead of my ability to understand the basic syntax (it's been a while).



On that note, an interesting look back at a man who used to run the free world's economy.

    "Socializing losses and privatizing gain" - very well put! That's pretty much what has happened with the bailouts and I'm with him that this is not the way to go.

    On the other hand, should the govt really be hands off? His view on the Fed Reserve being unable to avoid a crisis is interesting. Is there really no way this meltdown could have been avoided? I'm inclined to believe that regulations could have prevented some of the issues. But then again, hindsight is always 20/20 right? :p
