Free money 4 dummies
Sorry to dwell on this, but Reason has a great article up explaining in pretty simple terms what actually happened in the financial world to lead to this idiotic government posturing. Reason surely does have a strong libertarian capitalist bias — it does call itself the magazine of free minds and free markets, after all — but there’s virtually no way to portray the current crisis as being caused by anything but government bullshit, and there’s absolutely no way to portray it as being anything like as dire as the government wants us to believe. This is just another cynical power grab of exactly the sort we’ve been seeing since 2001.
You know exactly what I’m talking about.
