I think your solution is overkill, Who. Are you saying that everything should be made a felony? What purpose does that serve?
Those who think that more and greater tax cuts are going to fix the economy suffer from the problem that you're describing, Gipper. To think that more and greater tax cuts will put us on a sound economic footing are suffering from mental illness.

The title is Chris Wallace to Tim Pawlenty: Your Economic Plan won't work without tax increases.
Reagan's deregulation of the S & L's created a crisis. Clinton's repeal of Glass-Stegall was the wrong thing to do, IMO.
It's pretty obvious that whatever we do to regulate, someone on Wall Street will try to wiggle around. That doesn't mean that we can just let them run amuk.
The government is about the people. Not about enriching the haves. Good for the general public is going to be good for the economy in the long run. A strong middle class is fantastic for an economy.
Per Krugman, the only time that the economy didn't improve during FDR's tenure is when FDR tried to balance the budget. I know that Amity Shales tries to say otherwise. She's a goof.
