Milton Friedman was right in theory, wrong in practice....his mantra led to the Big Money mess we are in....we need to acknowledge "The Human Condition" is such that people will game the system to their benefit and many others won't call foul and most will go along with it ......I am a Republican but recognize we need some level of governance and oversight to try to keep an even playing field and opportunity for all....simple, swift and actionable laws that keep those who will game the system at bay ..... a great example of this is the Glass -Stegal Act which was finally repealed in 1999 . A 34 page law clearly separating investment banks from retail/commercial banking.....a law that worked for 70 years and in the 7 years following its repeal we had 2008.....and from this Dodd-Frank, a 2000+ page act of loopholes by the lobbyists ........we need good governance rather than binary politics and we citizens need to act responsibly for our own good as well as the greater good.
