We will see, Ake... I mean, we have a new consumer protection czar and it kinda depends on what common-sense regs she can get implemented... Put that on top of the new banking regs and I believe we have the beginnings of some saner financial policy...
The problem with our "capitalism" is that way too much of our "capital" is being hoarded and not invested by the upper 5%... It's one thing to have rich people who invets but quite another to have them playin' "hide-the-dough"... If that is allowed to continue then at some point any responsible government has no choice but to get those dollars back into circulation, even if it means doing it with some tax penalties on those who are stashing it... I mean, just printing up more money to replace the money that is out of circulation isn't a realistic long term policy... No, the capitalists are gonna have to get back in the "capitalist game" and quit playing "keep away" 'cause "keep away" isn't capitalism, it's capital hoarding... There's a big difference...
