People who blame the economic collapse on deregulation... ARGH!
Haha, agreed. The amount of ignorance out there is astounding.
I have a friend who is about 75, is college-educated (which may be the problem), was a town justice in a small town near here, had his own business for a while, etc. So one might say that he
should be well-rounded.
A couple of years ago, while discussing the banking crisis, I could not get him to admit that government regulations give people incentives to act differently than they otherwise would. How much brain power does it take to figure this out?
