And yet right now, the two biggest problems facing America are generally agreed to be caused by the government's failure to regulate. There are still a few irredentists who insist that the credit crash was caused by too much regulation, but I don't think anyone has had the brass neck to blame government interference for the oil spill.

So where was this over-regulation when we needed it?
