Why does china have a growth and expansion in their economy? Because their government intercedes to drive that growth in the private sector. Here we have government intervention in the government center and investors who are going to be dinged for that are sitting on their coin instead of driving growth.

I'm trying to figure out why it is that the US government is so singularly incompetent at its job... without a lot of success. Probably has to do with the thirty year reign of the Party of Money with two right wings.

And people are discovering this means 'fair means and foul'. The so-called "level playing field" only exists in capitalism as long as there's no-one seriously interested in tilting it. Wade.
