A post about deregulation being the cause for every economic malady known to mankind will be sure to follow.....
I suppose I'm a spammer for posting about deregulation in a thread about deregulation right?
The problem here is that you aren't picking up on the scam being run on you.
Conservatives tell you that regulations are hurting small businesses. This sounds credible to you because it is absolutely true. So when they propose deregulation as the solution that sounds very reasonable.
What they aren't saying is that the reasons regulations are hurting small businesses is because they keep deregulating big businesses! We had much stronger financial regulations in the 50s-60s and a more level playing field for small businesses. It's a total scam and it only works because the first half of their argument is true which makes the lies they are about to tell more believable.
Conservatives make the correct claim that currently economic regulations are hurting small businesses. Then they say they will support financial deregulation. But when the pass these deregulation laws, they end up deregulating multinational corporations, banks, and wall st.
They are presenting you with a real problem and then a false solution to that problem. You assume that because the problem they are talking about is correct, their solution is correct too. But it's not. You're being conned. All they do is deregulate big business while keeping the regulations for small businesses in tact making the playing field even more unbalanced.
We've had 30 years of financial deregulation and almost all major federal deregulation policies have been entirely for the benefit of big businesses. Hopefully one day you will figure out the scam that's being run on you.
