regulations causing recessions

1) 2-2-0-0?
2) My "focus" is more on the debt liquidation with recessions / depressions as the primary cause.
3) Regulatory stuff can be annoying. It's similar to the fire department arriving at a fire AFTER it has burnt itself out. Where was the regulation when you really needed it? :eek:

 

is that a bit like saying. we havent had a major airline crash in years, why do we need the faa?

 

Author does not provide any specific proof. He could have made a case for the epa and safety regulations making cars more expensive vs. Dergulating banking rules where we now have too big to fail banks sucking off the taxpayers tits. Personally I prefer some regulations, I don't want some stupid greedy farmer poisoning my food like chinese human feces fertilizer.

 

1) Touche'.
2) I was hinting more at financial/intangible-oriented types of things compared to tangibles like planes and trains.

 

Governments are always reactive, not proactive.

 

Get rid of the SEC
