i'm looking for some of the pure free market, no government interference folks to explain this to me.

and why can't obama solve this with a waive of his magic libtard wand? (<timm: i'm being ironic. don't agree with me.)

i think a lot of people are looking for an easy, painless fix to a complex issue.
