"Why Would Politicians Allow The Free Market To Work And Expect To Be Re-elected?"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Between discussions of gold-backed debt issuance in Europe (from Rick Santelli) and why Europe's problem is not merely a banking crisis but far worse (with the need for large-scale default and deleveraging as opposed to constant political intervention to makes things worse - quoting our earlier note on Italy's insanity), Michael Pento asks, rhetorically we pre-supposed: "What is wrong with letting the free markets work here? Let's let what is going to happen, happen!" But Bill Griffeth provides the truth-quote-of-the-day (in a stunning kimono-opening for the CNBC-watching public at large) when he opines on Pento's question that "There is not a single politician who hopes to let the free markets work and be reelected."

Indeed - as Santelli adds: "You Nailed It!"

The free market stinks of salmonella and open sewers. Stop using stupid terms - every market is regulated.

US citizens must cling to their fantasy, they can not perceive reality without the mediation of fantasy.

Gold?

Free markets?

Next Santelli and Pento will be suggesting property rights and habeus corpus.
