Hopefully even the most thick-skulled, hardened Rush Limbaugh wingnut/tea bagging dittohead would see the light and realize that the above three catastrophes are case studies in the abject failure of the 'free market' and where the government should have been much 'bigger' in regulating all three industries...
You see, to the average American with an IQ above room temperature, the argument we've been hearing from the fringe right of 'less government!' being the Nirvana that solves all of our societies problems--is patently absurd. I'd expect a more thoughtful, cogent political outlook from my pet rock.
And you know something? Regulation costs money! Money to fund the government comes from....you guessed it--taxes! It would be great if we could get all our shit for free--our roads, our police departments, our subways, our stop signs....our regulation of coal mines and oil drilling and the financial world--but life doesn't work that way!!
Oh who the fuck cares...I'm going to listen to Rush and Glenn Beck now. Life is much easier that way....
