Actually the people who crafted the bailout are the ones who actually regulate the market. Artificially low interest rates, inflation and boom-burst economic cycles are all created by a central bank, the greatest regulator of them all. Destabilize the economy, consolidate the wealth. Destabilize the economy, consolidate the wealth. That's the great economic cycle, with each concentric ripple getting bigger until the wealth of nations are consolidated under the international central bank.

There is no “stimulus” to spending. Spending $1 does not create $4 in value as the money “flows around”. Paying $10 for someone to mow your lawn doesn't magically create $40 in income for other people. When you stop paying, there is no lasting increase in lawn work.

“Her thesis is that people in power will use crises to” [dismantle and weaken the government to increase economic freedom]“, which is pretty much the opposite of what is happening and what happened with The Patriot Act.

I fixed it for you.

The Porkulus Package was 40 years in the making. I must say that all of the promises (that people voted for) made by President Obama have a price tag. We just got the bill.

Basically when the people get freaked out, the government is given incentive and license to do massive, stupid shit, so it does.

Iraq war, patriot act, TARP, stimulus. It's all the same.

Change I could believe in would be "you know what? After close analysis it looks like most of what we might do would be counterproductive. So I'll submit a revised stimulus bill, a third of the original size."

Her thesis is that people in power will use crises to advance their interests. Just as we are seeing. Open your eyes.

How's that? Is her thesis that crises will be exploited to impose massive Keynesian interventions government spending?

We could also call it the “Naomi Klein Act”. Maybe some people would realize how backwards she got things.
