<p>So according to your point #1, we forget the economy and it fixes itself. Thats fine, but then in the next sentence you say government regulation will fix this. If the government intervenes, the economy is not fixing itself. The economy fixing itself, is having a non fiat currency, where monies flow wherever they please. Trade is 100% free and nobody cares, again non interventionist.</p>
<p>On your point #2, So first as in point #1, you believe in interventionism, but now you don’t? That makes no sense. </p>
<p>Interventionism is a left idea, not a right one. Going to secure foreign oil is very left, assuming Americans will develop alternatives is right. Limiting trade is left, assuming Americans will deliver the best product and not being scared if they don’t is right. Assuming the govt needs to intervene in the economy is left. Assuming a economy can be self sufficient thus hands off is Right.</p>
<p>@ Smug- All I wanted was a discussion of the issues. I think that everything experience/personality-related has been thoroughly discussed in the many “Palin sucks!” and “Obama has no experience!” threads. </p>
