And that will lead to more regulation to save the ability of government to borrow money by saving the big banks.
And so will continue the growth of that symbiotic relation between our expanding government and the banking system. The real defense against that is a free market in which poor or corrupt banking policies actually lead to failure instead of government protection and greater wealth for the bankers.
If our government regulations protected a free market rather than supporting its cash cow, that would be, as you put it, the "only defense."

more reason to not vote for Democrats and their liberal policy, and more reason to vote for more liberties and freedoms and free market |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

That's why I liked Obama, he was probably one of the most honest presidents in a while. |

That was some church he went to, boy. You could just feel the love and tolerance oozing out of Rev Wright's sermons.
Obama seems devoted to his family, gotta give him that...Great wife? You say so... |
