Yep.  The recession has not been engineered by the "elite" sociopaths.

Recessions are generally cyclical but they can also be brought on or exacerbated by price fixing.

Price fixing = government meddling = excessive regulation

Hi Ted: You are joking, right?!
That the Government cause recession is absurd, the Government regulations such as EPA, Wall Street, the Banking industry, minimum wage, OSHA etc has to be greatly improved! Regulation of the dope industry (drug companies) has to be enforced and also greatly improved.

Those that would poison our water and air, let people die from contaminated foods etc are all irresponsible corporate sociopaths and the allegiance of anyone running for Government is clearly indicated by the corporate cry regarding less regulations!
It is true that the Government cause a lot of problems which is why we have to get money and greed out of the people we elect to higher office!

Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz rather conclusively demonstrated that bad Federal Reserve policy was responsible for the length and depth of the Great Depression.
