Correct. We wouldn't have had such a successful economy over the last decade without it

Lack of regulation has resulted in far more entrepreneurial investment: meanwhile, in France and Germany, not only can graduates not find a job for love nor money, but entrepreneurs have left both countries in droves. That's what much more regulation leads to in today's world.

And yes, before anyone points it out, I'm well aware of how much this country is effectively built on credit - but have confidence that there's been enough global economic stability since the early '90s that there won't ever be a major crash. Heck, if the global economy could actually get stronger post 9/11, it can probably withstand almost anything.
