my connection with the tea party

And of course, our politicians wonder why we keep having recessions and depressions, and though we get out of them, they try to look for solutions to prevent them from occurring again. Thus far they have failed, and that is because there are no solutions. No amount of "deregulation" can prevent these booms and busts. As Marx said, they are an INEVITABLE part of a capitalistic system such as ours. The sooner politicians can take their blinders off and realize this, the better off they and the rest of us (or almost the rest of us ) will be.

For once, I think I agree with you - these booms and busts are inherent to the system. Except... what is the alternative? What would politicians do, except throw up their hands and declare their powerlessness?
