So thanks for that.
I found the bolded line interesting. Yes, we free market conservatives refuse to support regulation. THAT IS WHAT FREE MARKET MEANS. Wow, I don't want to call you stupid, but damn.

And it wasn't a lack of regulation that got us here, that's just what the Democrats want everyone to think. It was a mixture of fiscal and monetary mismanagement by the FED and careless spending by the consumers that got us here.
