    You mean how they increased them? Requiring banks to give out loans to people that couldn't afford to pay them back? Then when that regulation failed the banks demanded that the government reimbursed them for the horrible government regulation that started it?

    They should have qualified that with "All important news." Us Americans just keep pissing other people off when we don't acknowledge their existence no matter how unimportant they are. On behalf of America I would like to apologize to Canada for ignoring you again.

    You're right how about: The government sets up the rules for how the free market will be, then government decides to fix the inequalities it created in the rules and everything gets worse and worse. Free market FAILED again!!

    The water company does put these restrictions at times. Sometimes you can't water your lawn or wash your car with that same water that you pay for.

    Is that really the goal? As much as we can tolerate? How about as little as is needed to provide civilized society. Is that really not even a considerable option any more?

    It's always better to have a politician decided on a technology to use rather than trying out many to see which ones work best. Government is always best and finding the best answer because of the flawless scientific evaluation of every proposed regulation.

    Then make sure to fight for private property rights and low taxes/extortions. With out the idea that, "What I earn will be and stay mine." then there is no motivation to do more than enough to not starve to death.

    Extractive institutions, government or local cartel, will always keep people in poverty.
