And, again, Neoliberalism has no relationship to the modern American specific division of "conservatives vs liberals."
ok, short of me spending the entire night researching the roots of neo-liberalism and how it applies over the last 30 years, someone try to give me the cliff notes version.

When were the Republicans ever the party of regulating Wall Street?
It's been my belief, just by things i've seen over the last couple of weeks, that many warnings were given about this coming economic catastrophe and each one was stonewalled by democrats. What specifically was offered by republicans I don't have readily at hand, and it may not be anything at all, but what I get tired of hearing is the back and forth bickering between republicans and democrats, conservatives and liberals, about who's damned fault this is. I'd just as soon that all the little children take their toys and go home letting the adults (yes, that would be libertarians, constitutionalists, and other 'free market' parties) deal with the issue because I can tell you right now, whats being done is not working. What's being proposed is not going to work.

This is what i'm talking about. The political divide between two groups of people trying to point fingers at the other is the majority reason why the country is coming apart.
