Quote of the day.....

"The time to guard against corruption and tyranny is before they shall have gotten hold of us. It is better to keep the wolf out of the fold than to trust to drawing his teeth and claws after he shall have entered."

-1782, Notes on Virginia, The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, edited by Albert Ellery Bergh-

The problem that I have, is that we have already allowed the wolf into our home. We have allowed government, a non-market participant, to intervene in well developed and efficient markets, such as housing for 70+ years. Why? To what benefit?
