Maybe Mr. Bloomfield has something. I know my 'animal instincts' are really stoked at the moment to tear the throat out of the "sound economic policy" that has ruined our nation. Now.

It would seem that populism actually embodies the real free market by not subsidizing and protecting a wealthy corporate oligarchy at the expense of everyone else.

"No regulatory enforcement" is policy in the Bush Administration and I suspect it will get no better under the next corporate suck-up elected to the office. As to Bloomfield, "necessary animal instincts"? The rest of the animal world in general is far more moral than free market predators who only wish for the market to be "free" while they are winning (although they continue to lobby for rule changes which help them "win" more) and then scream for and get bailouts when they are losing. A plague on all their houses.
