When Eyes Wander Where Limbs May Not Be

It looks like this article is full of be afraid of the boogeyman type rhetoric, and some of its facts are questionable. The policies proposed and passed in congress that burst the housing bubble were those of the Clinton administration and not the Bush administration. But they were left unmonitored by Bush. So either the problem is that government is too involved with matters concerning the economy by proposing such bills, are under involved by leaving the effects of bills like this unmonitored, or as is most likely – both at the same time. What is a paradox? I’m not really an economist or an expert on government policy; these are just vague and most likely misdirected perceptions I have on the whole situation. But I think we’ve got a government that has many limbs and too few eyes to see what any of them are doing.
