Why doesn't anyone ever listen to Krugman?
FTFA: "...what happened last Friday in the House of Representatives, when — with the meltdown caused by a runaway financial system still fresh in our minds, and the mass unemployment that meltdown caused still very much in evidence — every single Republican and 27 Democrats voted against a quite modest effort to rein in Wall Street excesses."
*Forehead slap*
Okay, I get that lots of people have raging hard-ons for the free market, and y'know what, I'll come out and say it: I agree, there are times when the market regulating itself is a wonderful idea.
However, this is not one of those times. How many segments like Samantha Bee's Cash Cow do we have to see before we, as a nation, realize that we are being milked (har har) for all we're worth by the money farmers on Wall Street? They DO NOT CARE about our well-being. It's hard to do so when your entire vision is filled by one gigantic bottom line.
