Do you think that politicians are telling the truth when they call something "deregulation"? <BR/><BR/>If you were to take the time to look under the covers of cases of "deregulation", what you'd find are politicians that are scrambling b/c their previous regulations are going badly; so, they re-regulate and call it "deregulation".<BR/><BR/>After a while their misnamed "deregulation" regulations screw up, so then it's time to "regulate" things again.<BR/><BR/>In both cases, it's still regulation. They just name it based on whatever word is more popular at the moment.<BR/><BR/>It shows the public that politicians are "doing something" and it buys them some time. <BR/><BR/>It seems that most people take the bait every time.Butler T.

Unfortunately my conclusion was that this guy is a joke. http://womenartmoney.blogspot.com/2008/10/10-reasons-why-bob-barr-is-joke.htmlsmartblackboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195554343839013598noreply@blogger.com
