Capitalism is great and it works, but without policing, rules, and enforcement it is the playground of devils - devoid of morality and a pariah on our society. We learned that lesson collectively already, we won't repeat it. America's past that.</span><p><b>NewsTrust Rating: </b><a href="http://www.newstrust.net/stories/3649?ref=rss">2.7 average</a> - <a href="http://www.newstrust.net/stories/3649?ref=rss">13&nbsp;Reviews&nbsp;&raquo;</a> - <a href="http://www.newstrust.net/stories/3649/toolbar?ref=rss">Review It</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.newstrust.net/">Visit NewsTrust</a> | <a href="http://www.newstrust.net/about">About</a> | <a href="http://www.newstrust.net/partners/feeds/rss">Sign Up</a> | <a href="http://www.newstrust.net/about/disclaimer">Disclaimer</a></p> U.S. Economy Sun, 03 Dec 2006 04:05:33 -0800 http://www.newstrust.net/stories/2610/toolbar?ref=rss http://www.newstrust.net/stories/2610/toolbar?ref=rss <span><a href="http://www.newstrust.net/sources/oliver_willis?ref=rss">Oliver Willis</a> - By Oliver Willis - Dec. 03 (Opinion) - It began with the election, but every day more evidence comes out that shows us that the president, his advisors, and his supporters have no damn clue what to do, and for the mere sake of retaining what is left of their machismo refuse to do the right thing. The stock answer to leaving Iraq is that the country will become a bloody hellhole and America will look week.
