The Bowyer Bailout Alternative

Let's try fixing the Free Market by making it...uh, I don't know...free!

I know, it's a tough concept to intellectualize. Everyone knows that injecting more government intervention, controls, regulations, management, decision-making, price/salary caps, and taxes frees up the market much faster.

But just maybe, for once, we might want to consider an alternative.

"Abolish the Community Reinvestment Act. Forcing banks to make minority loans is the original sin out of which came the Subprime mortgage industry. Let banks decide where to loan; that's their job. Leave identity politics out of our credit system.

Do all of the above and I'm not at all sure that any bailout would still be needed. Before we subsidize these institutions, let's stop the things we are already doing to collapse them. Back to Hippocrates: First of all, do no harm."
