Community reinvestment act? repeal Glass Steagal, Frank and Waters protecting the fraud of fannie and freddie? Even now, the D congress is whitewashing the investigation into what happened on Wall St. How many Goldman alum are in the White House? Stop looking at parties for heros and villians as if it wasn't both of them that drink from the trough of corruption. The Fed, Goldman, and Morgan have far too much influence. The last fifty years have been about buying the public off with band aid social programs based on pyramid scheme financing, while looting the country into third world status. Hundreds of billions of US tax dollars have been sent overseas under these bailout schemes, yet, the Fed audit is being sidetracked. Why? Well, we seem to agree on fundamental economics…

But the problem is ever since Ronald Reagan the Republicans have made the government out to be this evil in our midst and that has allowed them to do things like repeal the very banking safeguards that protected us from the moral hazard. So then we over reach in the other direction and put too much regulation on capital markets. The disruption in capital markets was created by the lack of oversight, not from too much. Especially the financial markets. You can't create an entire new class of debt instruments and insure them like they were demand deposits but with no oversight, and then be shocked when the system melts down... it was not a matter of if, but when.

All the while enjoying the benefits he derives from the system he disparages. Those changes, when followed to natural extension, have a high probability of leading to disaster. When parties stand to benefit from these actions, it is extremely important to verify the integrity of the process. Which brings us to this blog, and the potential danger posed by the corruption of science as appears from the growing climategate fraud. Who would benefit from it, who was paying for it, and who should be going to jail?

For this system to function, there must be an voluntary exchange between two or more parties. That's all there is to it. The moment any party acts to conceal information, the transaction is based on deceipt and manipulation. It no longer meets the definition. The capital markets could in theory follow that defintion, however they do not, and probably never have. Insider trading, short selling, derivatives, insurances, such as CDS, are an extension of fraud by deception. By alleviating the consequences from the associated party, the assumed 'moral hazard' that parties rely to assure an honest and comprehensive exchange, is removed from the transaction. The direction of regulation should therefore be directed at issues of transparency, and honesty. Government's role should be that of referee, not engineer. Instead, politicians have attempted to interject ideas on the direction or equality of outcome. These have led to tremendous market disruptions.
