44. Your hope and desire futile

Honor? "Free from conflict of interest"? Dream on. The pursuit of profits knows nothing of this. Indeed, those 'conflicts' are part and parcel of maximizing profits.

We look to the New Deal as an example of how things should be done, but how long did that last? They started rolling it back as soon as WWII was over and we will witness it's final demise when Social Security is assaulted in the name of 'fiscal responsibility' next year.

Regulation is but an obstacle to be subverted and subvert it they will, people are paid big bucks to figure out the games. Time to get off of the merrygoround.
