There's a guy on Facebook who is blaming Ayn Rand for the financial mess we are in.  I know he is pretty much full of shit.  Can anyone give me some good insight as to why?

If anyone's interested, here's a detailed time line of the evolution of this disaster, the seeds of which date all the way back to 1987. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/warning/cron/ Several people warned the powers that be along the way, but the warnings were not heeded. And there is plenty of blame to go around among members of both political parties. The central germ was an unquestioned belief in the Ayn Rand philosophy of zero government regulation and oversight

Yeah, Greentard....  That Benedict Arnold must pay!

But abducting, torturing, and killing old people always feels like too little too late...

Should we do that to Greenspan's wife first?

Rand favored a Gold standard. Modern banking would not be anything like it is today with gold standard.

Eh, the poster is just smart enough to get himself into trouble. Will not be worth the effort to argue with him, his mind is made up. Lost cause, nothing to see here, move along.
