"Anything I do not understand must be easy." They are incompetent and unqualified to do this. I would guess it's also unconstitutional.

“Anything I do not understand must be easy.”

They are incompetent and unqualified to do this.

I would guess it’s also unconstitutional.

We seem to be in this mindset that for everything that happens, we demand the government "do something", in my opinion, doing nothing would have been better. but in a down cycle, the last thing that should be done is for the government to try and “fix” it, especially by adding huge debt, bailouts, etc. In this economic cycle, it probably would have been better to let some of the companies fail, and let the economy recover on its own.

Just look at Europe, they have government run healthcare, powerful unions, high taxes, and higher unemployment.

Why do the "experts" think that everything has to be "great" all the time, and if it is not-so-great right now, it will never be in the future -- unless they fix it, of course. but doesn’t the economy have cycles just like anything else: seasons, global temperatures, etc?
