Conservative Beach Girl is speech protected in accordance with the Constitution of the United States of America. "The Constitution is not a suicide pact" - Justice Robert H. Jackson, 1949. Our representative republic based on our U.S. Constitution has many wolves slashing at our heels and hearts. Enemies within and enemies without; we must take them at their word, even as they dissemble at every turn to advance their cause to destroy our way of life and end our freedoms.

Deregulation at FauxNews
Deregulation Circa 1999 is an article written in 1999. I cannot begin to understand all of the complexities of our economy but this article is a good one which includes information about acts passed after the failure of the stock market in 1929. H/T to FauxNews.
Subsequent legislation is also mentioned. No matter which "side" we are on in the current "crisis", a bit of historical perspective can help us all understand better how we got where we are today. There was a time when we had anti-trust laws, when we had laws that kept huge mergers across financial institutions from occurring. Well, now all we have are huge monopolies - what is it now, only 5 publishing conglomerates under 5 communications corporations, just to mention one area? There is a reason monopolies are not good for our economy...they eliminate competition and they eliminate the opportunity for the true sharing of ideas across our society.
A H/T to Eternity Road for: Fascism at Work, Hold onto your Wallet!.
Additionally, a H/T to The Conservative Guy for: Here is how we got into this financial mess - smoking gun! from the NYT 1999 by Steven A. Holmes.
