Haughey, September 29, 2008<\/p>\n<p>Thank-you to those in Congress who voted against the bailout. I hope you had the people of America in mind when casting that vote. Now the hard work of fixing the system must begin. A bailout without fixing the system, to allow more loans to be made using the existing system, to allow derivatives and hedge funds to drag the economy further into a hole, will accomplish nothing for the average American. The regulations that worked 30 years ago must be re-instated, and new regulations are needed to accommodate new technologies. It took 30 years of implementing a flawed philosophy to create the current financial mess and no simple solution will solve it. Pretending that a bailout will solve this mess is only pandering for votes. It is way past time for that to stop. Unregulated capitalism doesn&#8217;t work in the long run, and there is no invisible hand.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Copyright 2008: Creative Commons CC <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BY-SA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silvertipmusings.com\/?page_id=457\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Copyright &amp; Reuse Conditions<\/a> for this site<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank-you to those in Congress who voted against the bailout.
