The free market needs restictions just like free people.

The reason the stock markets in Canada and Poland didn't collapse (when every bank in USA and Europe was vulnerable) is directly the result of tight regulation.

The crisis now (as it's always been) is jobs, and unemployment. Unions and their bargaining rights should be reviewed and regulated so that business don't shut down and/or move overseas. It is ridiculous unions are so powerful that they can effectively kill the economy (like in Detroit). As it's ridiculous that our taxes go to pay for union spa/gym (which was a CUPE demand). My taxes should be spent sparingly.
