regulations ARE the problem. they skew otherwise natural market forces
While I agree that it is not the governments job to bail out any failing company.
To say that government regulations don't work is not entirely true
Many of the regulations the government implements are a not bad.
Don't you think that the sale of alcohol should be restricted to people over the age of 18-21. What about the sale of tobacco.
Just think about how much more money our free market economy could generate if it could sell these drugs to anyone.
I believe that there are certain industries that need some form of regulation, otherwise the public will suffer for it.
The health care industry is one of them. Insurance companies should not be able to drop you if you become sick or prevent you from being covered because of a pre-existing condition.
That is a minimal amount of regulation that will insure that everyone has an equal chance of remaining healthy.
It should be illegal for a company to profit from the suffering of people. Only government regulations can make this happen.

Minor government regulations does not = socialism

Ocording to the constitution a president can't be president while holding office in a foreign entity. Thats breaking the law right there.
Um...the UN security council is not a foreign entity, and the President of the Security Council rotates each month
The role of president of the Security Council involves setting the agenda, presiding at its meetings and overseeing any crisis. The President is authorized to issue both presidential statements (subject to consensus among Council members) and notes,[3][4] which are used to make declarations of intent that the full Security Council can then pursue.[4] The Presidency rotates monthly in alphabetical order of the Security Council member nations' names in English and is held by United States for the month of September 2009.
