Carl, what happens to a free market economy when the banks fail?

Torie, actually, it sounds to me like the people you're b-slapping are public employees.

Jesus Christ, political rhetoric in this country is depressing.

Lots of businesses fail in a free economy.

Torie doesn't want people to be responsible for their own actions.

Of course lots of businesses fail, but the failure of businesses, even very large ones, in a free-market economy does not have the same impact as major and massive banks that hold billions and billions of dollars of the assets of other individuals and businesses, as well as make businesses constant loans so they can get through their monthly and yearly business cycles.   

Torie has always sounded like a Republican to me, snarky shots at Obama and public employees and all.

Exactly.  I do remember A&P, and they didn't make everybody else's individual and business transactions possible.
