[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 360182, member: 2189"] [B]"We are not in a Free Market Situation"[/B] Very true but what took us out of being that? And who benefitted? What effect did regulation and gov't intervention have in positioning those forces into a monopoly postition and thus at the same time erect a barrier to keep alternatives from coming to the market? Who controls the lobbyist that have our leaders ears and thus their wallet? My 2nd post in this thread might be a good place to begin to answer those questions. Go ask Jimmy Carter what effect Nixon's Wage and Price Freeze had on the economics of his Presidential years? Last I heard, the oil companies were singing in unison, "PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Don't throw me in the briar patch! [/QUOTE]
