The FT editorial board calls for more government intervention

[voltronblack]

By itself maybe, coupled with an end to entitlement programs, and subsidies, and you could easily win over many conservatives. It shrinks govt.
The media stories would be no different than the welfare queen stories we see now.

ok here another question for you how would you get liberals and more important the bernie sander types democratic to sign off cutting entitlement programs

Listen, deregulation and the government stepping back was fine until everyone on the Fobers Global 2000 list sold out to Bejing. We refer to PROC as a communist country, but it's more state capitalism with a free market and no elections. If we're going to have a better free market, coportations should stop failing during critical situations or trying to game the system. Less government intervention require more personal responsibility on the other actors involved. That means selling out your supply chain to PROC/Vietnam and asking for tax breaks should come to an end.

Without constant policing that will be tough when you are dealing with sociopathic CEOs who will do anything to get their bonuses.

This is the issue, no one wants to compromise anymore
Trade offs are a thing of the past.

What percentage of CEO's do you believe fit that description?

Its more complicated than that... behavior in the market is fostered by the state. Letting big business know they are too big to fail, and will be bailed out, and not held accountable creates all sorts of crony behavior(gaming the system) that wouldnt exist otherwise.
There's really no incentive to act ethically in the American economy.
...my solution, end all subsidies, and let them fail.

Problem is too many people travel between public service, lobbying and sitting on boards. That's the nexus of the corruption we see. Government reps have financial interests in too big to fail. Look at United a couple of weeks ago.

Yup. There's almost no legal way to prevent it either.
