as ive mentioned before...ive been gone awhile. did i miss the discussion for or against the presidential candidates or are we limiting that discussion on wso? im just curious to know positions and justifications from a wall street perspective, which as we all know typically sides republican, especially in a year like this one. maybe thats too much to ask tho, i know these discussions can get bitter and nasty...and no one likes to be politically exposed. any way just wondering.

And the proper intervention would be to reclaim a portion of pre-disaster profits. I mean the moral hazard here is suffocating.
