These 20th century talking points are sounding increasing warmed over and irrelevant: (1.) It's the business-driven (via lobbyists) government policy that's broken. In other words, in case you hadn't noticed, we've spent the last 30 years not only loosening and eliminating business regulation, but creating business-driven government. And it's been done using your talking points such as the one above. Result? An entire industry that's totally failed to compete. How's that for a market failure? (2.) Business has failed in such a large and spectacular way that government has no choice but to take over. In other words, the kids asked to left home alone and totally proved themselves unworthy of the responsibility. (3.) Generational failure. I'm a partisan, but not Republican or Democrat, boomer vs gen X. We're seeing the complete failure of our parents generation to lead this country. I see the Financial Crisis, amongst our other institutional failures, as a failure of a generation - the Baby Boomers be they Democrats, Republicans, or Independents. Our parents have literally failed us, leaving us with a disaster of country. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:293197 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
