POTUS Election thread

Ungh.... The Clintons are so slimy that it almost makes me want to vote for Trump.


Of course, then I realize what a ego-centric, morally bankrupt mental midget Trump is. Which is why I can't in good conscience vote for either of them.

Any form of economic policy devolves into varying states of perverted money grabbing without careful, well thought out regulation.

If by well thought out, you mean 'restrained and minimalist', I might agree with you. Virtually all regulation is driven by special interests- most of whom are looking to line their own pockets.

Virtually all regulation is driven by special interests- most of whom are looking to line their own pockets.

This argument is at about the level of the argument that criminals will get guns despite gun laws.

If you have "restrained and minimalist" regulation, you're going to have people who will easily circumvent basic laws for their own gain. You need regulation to establish firm and clear guidelines. You can't have simple laws for a complex system. I'm sorry. It just won't work.
