/me is pleased that the UK is an island . . .

You didn't answer my point. How is government interfering in private employment contracts a good thing? If all a person can produce is $4.00 worth of work an hour, why should the employer be forced to pay them $6.75? Is it better for the person only producing $4.00 an hour to be denied work?

Soccer? You're probably right, but it's not *my* game, nor is netball for boys, nor the sissy form of rugby you play over there.

Pep (And as for a blond Bond . . . forget it!)

PS I ain't English, if that's what you are getting at, and neither was Bond.

you love a blonde bond! :p

Are you arguing for the market to determine equilibrium of supply and demand in the same way as it did for the banks? Surely not!

Pep (I would blame the educational system that means a person can only produce $4.00 worth of work an hour; but *whose* educational system?)

If only the banks had been under the market instead of government control. The United States hasn't had free markets since at least 1913 and the creation of the Federal Reserve. Some would argue 1890 with the antitrust acts were the end of the free market in the States.

As for the educational system, some people are lacking in the ability to learn skills worth more than $4.00/hr. We are only equal in the eyes of God, in matters of this Earth people are different.

This. The current fisaco is the direct result of government tampering with the banking system starting with the Community Reinvestment Act in the 70's, leading into the FannieMae and FreddieMac situations , engineered by among others, The High Inquisitor himself, Barney Frank, who now sits on his throne and pontificates and expresses outrage. It's disguisting.

I guess I should have put a sarcasm emoticon in as well. I am an economist and I know only too well that there is no such thing as a true capitalist economy, just as there has never been a pure communist state either. The UK have done much better since the government made the Bank of England principally responsible for monetary policy.

If they are intrinsically not worth $4 an hour (unless of course they can't speak the language) then the state (capitalist/communist/hybrid) should be making it unnecessary for them to be working in a commercial environment.

Pep (doesn't believe in that God stuff, nor Marx's version either)
