It seems to me that Government intervention in the housing market encouraged the bubble and then when it burst, the mark to market rules drove the financial crisis as opposed to banks being able to engage in proprietary trading.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06910619601367464068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-92029679273269231772012-03-04T09:48:27.921-08:002012-03-04T09:48:27.921-08:00http://www.ici.org/etf_resources/research/etfs_01_...http://www.ici.org/etf_resources/research/etfs_01_12<br />ICI also posts ETF fund flows monthly - no great change there.

When he and Warren Buffett say we have to live with much higher taxes, I am sure neither one understands how our economy really works. They completely ignore the negative effects of too much government spending, especially too much Scott Grannishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14028519647946868684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-84388901506188948552012-03-04T07:39:28.775-08:002012-03-04T07:39:28.775-08:00Scott,
