Recently at Reason.tv: John B. Taylor on how the government is prolonging the financial crisis
John B. Taylor, professor of economics at Stanford University, challenges the conventional wisdom that it was an excess of deregulation that precipitated our current financial crisis. In fact, he says, the exact opposite is true.
In January, he sat down with Reason.tv's Michael C. Moynihan to discuss his new book Getting Off Track: How Government Actions and Interventions Caused, Prolonged, and Worsened the Financial Crisis (Hoover Press) and explain what caused the collapse of the American economy.

...how the government is prolonging the financial crisis...
Actually, the American people did by taking its new leader out of Dumb Nigger Storage.
I've been wondering if maybe the people on MSNBC have been wrong about this. Thanks for the alternate perspective, not that this video really gave me any new information...
