Again, this ideology confuses you.
It does not confuse me. There is a definite place for Government Regulation in the Markets. At some point though, which I maintain we passed long ago, increased regulation negatively impacts the economy, leaving those most vulnerable to take the hit.
The country has been on a deregulation tear from Reagan onwards,
At what point do you think "regulation went too far"? Was it the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, or was it the Commoditiy Futures Modernization Act of 2000? Or was it when regulation went too far when the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency told states that they could not enact anti-predatory measures to protect their own citizens?
Sorry, but you are utterly incapable of anything resembling serious discussion.
You're sorry? Not hardly. Did the CBO state that the Financial Overhaul Bill that was passed by the Democrats as a result of the Great Recession would or would not have prevented the Great Recession had it been in place previously?
Why is it that you would want to have more and more laws on the books when the ones we have on the books now aren't being enforced, or are only enforced when it strikes the fancy of the White House?
In your estimation, what is the proper role of Government? How would that manifest?
