In my system though, there would be job-retraining programs and massive public works and research programs as there is no shortage of these things that need to be done.

The economy has already been screwed up from government intervention, capital must shift away from things like student loan debt, housing, service sector. Yes the repeal of Glass-Stegal, while keeping the government-backed FDIC insurance was a major factor in allowing the leverage and bubble to form.

See, in your system, we would just shift the money to the already-in-a-bubble education system, temporary employment measures, and more government bureaucrats (often just as parasitic as the finance industry). The free market is already shifting back to an almost-forgotten-system of apprenticeship. I can't think of anything that would fuel real job-creation more than the spirit of entrepreneurship through apprenticeship.

This post is so discombobulated that I really don't know where to begin. Proposing that you somehow know what 'my system' is based off a snippet quote that lacked a voluminous explanation of the sake of brevity is laughable. Yet, as it is so common in forums, if you leave an opening for where there is even the slightest ambiguity regarding what someone is implying then all manner of other positions that were never proposed and never held by the author are inferred based off of what the respondent seeks to identify with things they've heard other people saying that hold beliefs to which they believe are of a similar political or social persuasion.

Please do not make this mistake with myself. My ideas are my own and I use language very carefully. I strive to pick and choose ideas from people based on their merit alone. You probably identify me as someone holding a host of beliefs that I do not. I would be willing to bet that I know more about topics to which you've never posted, inferred from the things you have posted than you could derive from me based on what I've posted - BUT, I wouldn't ever make an argument based on such assumptions. Blindly swaggering into the 'arena' of ideas and imposing what you believe your 'oppositions' ideas on them isn't a way that either of us can learn anything from each other.
