Question

Don't you think some people should read an economics book before blaming everything on the government?

Answer 1

Of course not. I mean if the government insists on regulating every aspect of my life. Then I'm going to blame them when things go wrong. It goes beyond economics.

As a true patriotic politician once said "Leave the people alone dammit!".

Of course the politician in question was fictional. Unfortunately no politician today would say those words because it's all about controlling the masses.

Oh well have a nice day.

Answer 2

Yes and the government should stop trying to control our lives by overtaxing us and controlling our money. That's a hint to Obama.  

Answer 3

Yes, Yes, Yes ! In all western countries people are blaming Governments for oil prices, food prices, credit crunch, etc. In reality these are complex global conditions which governments have little, if any, control over ! The credit crunch can be blamed on greedy consumers who often ignore government advice, then beg the same government to 'bail them out' when things go belly-up. But, it seems most people find it easier to blame and point fingers than to actually look into the real root causes of a problem, Thank You !!! you are so right.

Answer 4

the book usually says gov't policy has a huge effect on the economy
