I agree the variables can become quite complex, especially with every side pulling at it like it is a rag doll. Didn't mean to come off too strident I had a bad day, it may have came out in my writings. We maybe belaboring the corruption difference too much. The more I reflect on it the more it seems that we are talking about the same coin, we are just arguing heads or tales as if they didn't exist on the same coin. Mistrust is hard to get over sometimes. Sometimes you need to leave such things in the past.
Your idea is interesting, but people will call it socialism, and we both know how people love their rhetoric. It makes them feel comfortable like pulling a safety blanket over their heads. That is only a small issue though. With the interstate banking laws how would you deal with what I would call the "Delaware" problem where the banks finds a small state to setup business in where they can control the legislators. I know this happens now, if I were to get a loan hear in Louisiana the policy that governs that loan may be set in Delaware or South Dakota with little over-site from my home state. Maybe ending interstate banking would have the same effect as state charter banks. I would be interested in what you thought about this, I'm Not sure myself.
I disagree with Paul Volcker because of the 99% movement. Your are a "free martketer" and I'm a "centralist" and yet we both believe in Glass Stegall. Also we somehow find common ground to work on, without giving up our own principles. According to normal politics this isn't supposed to happen. Something has changed in America and I don't think we are going back anytime soon.
We are making progress and I am excited to read what you will come up with.
