I would say it is correct to imply that I’m on the free-market team. Those who oppose a free-market ideas does not make them “far left” (according to the definition I found), but what those reps and Senators said in the links would constitute for that. American fundamentals are not supposed to go towards nationalization or socialization, that’s not what this country is about. Just look how the DOW and S&P are reacting to the notions of nationalization by Obama; it’s not good for America. It may work for Euro nations but it just simply won’t take off here. Free-markets offer equal opportunity for failure and success. Big government doesn’t work, that’s why Japan’s economy has been in the dirt for the past decade or so.
I disagree. Japan's economy has been struggling since the early '90s because their bubble economy burst in a rather spectacular manner. The bubble was caused by unhindered speculation, money that was spent but not had, and a government that was swept up in the thrill of it all. Their economy has been in the doldrums for the last few years, but had been slowly but steadily getting better. Japan's problem is compounded by the fact that they have a very very old population that needs caring for.
Small government doesn't work.
Yay anarchy.
EDIT: LTSmash, I hope you don't mind we're ganging up on you.
