RB, you still don't get that these phenomena are to be expected? and that part of what caused the problem in this case is government interference? Short-term bumps are tough but that's all they are. What do you envision as the alternative? A five-year plan? The whole point of private enterprise is that there is risk of failure. Failure is a feature of the system, not a bug: it provides object lessons and stimulates success by others.

This is nothing new, and it's only the meddling of politicians that's going to ruin stuff. Too bad there is always someone who thinks s/he knows better who wants to remake the econony as s/he thinks best. It doesn't work. Never has, never will.
