Sometimes a series of current events come together to make a needed solution unbelievably clear. The past 10 years, America’s Economy has not been an example of the failure of Free Market Capitalism, but a failure of our government’s responsibility to protect that system with rules and regulation. Without refereeing a soccer game, when the players have little honor or respect for the game, chaos will break out when someone uses their hands and no one blows a whistle. Without a referee in America’s government, watching banks and corporate industry, we are now left scrambling to keep the pieces together after the rules haven’t been enforced for a decade. This has left America in a very delicate place, perhaps, if our path isn’t corrected shortly, could lead us to second place amongst the nations of the world.
