are you saying that we shouldn't have any regulation because it's inherently corrupt? I don't buy that because regulation isn't inherently corrupt, people are and are motivated by greed, this is why pure capitalism, as well as pure socialism will never work. The sooner we admit that, the sooner we can move away from these ideological fantasies and start to fix what is broken with a combination of ideas..
there are good people behind good regulation.. your approach seems to be on the side of throwing the baby out with the bath. When instead, we should just throw out the person or people who are caught doing these kinds of deals.. instead of letting them hide behind this or that party's petticoat .
I saw it time and time again working for the state, and have witnessed it time and time again in the federal government.
A Governor or a President or an Agency Head will reward a political crony with a leadership position in a field in which they have no knowledge, don't know what they're doing, and are completely lost.
When said appointee fails, we hear cries of "See! Regulation doesn't work!" instead of:
"Why didn't you appoint someone to head that agency who knew what the fuck was going on?"
Of course, those words fall upon deaf ears:
Ask Michael Browne.
