But for the economics to work, you have to let go, with only a touch here, a nudge there. Too many liberals want to
help and can't take their hands off enough to let the market do it's job. This isn't to say that there should be some regulations, but only a little here and there, and look closely for the unexpected consequences, and admit when something is causing more unexpected problems than it's saving in original problems, you need to get rid of it....
