From my single favorite blogger on the planet, Warren Meyer:
No one in government, that I have heard, has even suggested any sort of regulation holiday as a potential economic stimulus program. In fact, most of the legislative moves at the national level have made private investment less attractive
Seriously – if the economy is on the brink of disaster and we have unprecedented employment problems, is that not a reason to lighten the choke hold? Of course it would make sense – but politically this is a non-starter, perhaps a worse idea than ending Medicare (which is a good idea in the real world). Why? Because if this were proposed, it would be an admission that regulations and meddling are harmful for economic growth and prosperity. However, the state religionist view is that these regulations make us more competitive and are part of a more “just” 21st century economy that will do things a different way. So, we will not get serious about any stimulus that involves a shrinking of the grabbing hand.
It never hurts to make a great point.
I understand your political frustration, but unless we challenge our lords and masters, they will continue.
Thanks for your insightful blog, wintercow, and your links to other thoughtful people.

506431 372013I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better? 671205
