What do you want, Felix? Do you want wild west capitalism to find yet "another" worthless derivative to create a bubble out of? Do you 'want' for the "boom and bust" cycle to continue?
How about we try slow growth for a change... hand in hand with a regulator that stops the worthless scams and Ponzi schemes BEFORE they can get big enough to bring down an economy?

Growth, yes, any growth except negative growth would do today. Tomorrow we can work on fixing the economy, and next week we can focus on jobs and infrastructure. Within a year we can once again be a solid nation.

However, giving speeches in reference to how one cannot lead by executive example will only get us more of blah 'blah, less of deficit reduction and again more unemployment, all the while losing the GDP battle to China and the EU...

I don't want much, really. But I want my daughter element's generation and their children to at least have a fighting chance of Capitalism, freedom, and justice for all!

I may pick this book up. I saw the interview on Stewart and it looks interesting.
