Neither should Democrats. Or anyone else.

You're still clinging desperately to the "deregulation" myth, ignoring the actual history, which was enthusiastically bipartisan.

You really think the Democrats will now create the "perfect" regulatory environment? Prevent financial disaster once and for all, after almost eighty years of both parties "regulating" the economic system to do just that?

Or will they play the same old game with the financial industry like every other Congress has? Have you looked to see who's getting the campaign donations now?

This is how it's done, Bowser. And the more power you give to the government, the more of this you'll see, not less.

The private sector is motivated to move money where it will create more wealth, make a profit. It doesn't always work, but that's the motivation.

The government is motivated to move money where it will create more political power for the government.

This "stimulus" will be all about the latter. I suspect tax cuts are already fading out of the picture.
