What are you talking about when you say free markets fail? The government failed us and caused the financial meltdown along with greedy banker's and wall street execs. We have crony capitalism not free market capitalism in this country. The more the government gets involved the more skewed it gets. If the government acted quickly when they knew that there was going to be a meltdown in mortgages over two years ago rather than just paying lip service to the problem at the time we may have been able to avert the home buyer program now , which is contributing to our climbing national debt. The economy is having an historically weak recovery only due to the cash for clunkers program( more debt). And banks are not lending. The vast majority of businesses in this country still can't get a loan. There is an old saying in the stock brokerage business. When the government pumps money into the economy it always ends up in the stock market. What happens when we stop borrowing and pumping? And most earning improvement is coming from laying off workers not increasing sales.

It seems Rick Newman doesn't have a handle on what's going on.

This guy doesn't know what he is talking about. Sure everything is fine and dandy now, but look at what the future entails. Whenever the Federal Reserve pumps money into the economy at the rate they have with bailouts, you get inflation. Never have we seen this much money pumped into the economy even in the 80's. Eventually they have to take that money out. The economy is like a drug addict. A drug addict does a drug to get a jolt. After a while you get used to that amount and you need more drugs to get the same jolt. The same happens with the economy. Once you increase the money supply it gets a jolt. After a while the economy will need more money to get the same jolt. However, when an addict can't get his fix, he goes through withdrawal. When you take money out by raising interest rates, the economy goes through withdrawal. The problem is, we have overdosed by increasing the money supply at historic rates. The Feds will have to raise interest rates to levels probably higher than the 80's to stifle inflation. It will be like a cold turkey withdrawal of the "drug". Some may ask, well why are we seeing deflation? Well it's a short term deflation that should have lasted longer if there was no Government involvement. It was just a natural "free market" fix of prices that over reached wages. Some may ask, well why are we seeing a jolt in the economy? Well as the writer suggest, the Government stepped in and created programs that made it enticing for the consumer to buy. They created the first time home-buyer program, cash-for-clunkers, huge government spending, and a small tax cut. They injected more drug or money. These policies will soon end if they haven't already and that temporary jump in the economy will take a turn. Inflation will hit in about 1-3 years. The DOW has gone above the trend line for rate of return YTD and will eventually make the downward trend. The dollar wil
