Lobbying For Tighter Economic Regulation

I am lobbying for tighter government regulations in the wake of our economic meltdown. From what I know of the economic meltdown, at the very least in the sub-prime mortgage meltdown, it would not have happened if the government had regulated it more tightly. What I am not saying is that a world where the government runs the economy and is in every aspect of the market is a good one. What I mean is that Government involvement in the economy is justified in order to prevent force and fraud. They need to be involved in the economy enough to prevent fraud and dishonesty but not enough to prevent small businesses to grow.

My motivation for lobbying this is the wrong that was done to people who invested and lost everything due to dishonesty and corruption. My motivation was first sparked by watching a documentary called" Inside Job" and it basically exposed Government corruption, and what? Oh yeah, nothing happened! It even went as far to talk about the CEO's of these giant companies and they took about 400 million each and resigned without even a damn slap on the wrist. It is legitimately one of the biggest travesties that I think anybody that was born in the 1990's has ever witnessed. But regardless of that Occupy Wall Street and even further Occupy Everything have been trying to get the point across. Although misguided it is a step in the right direction for my lobbying topic.

Sadly enough even with this problem that had happened there are no new bills regarding government regulation and honestly I expected a lot of bills to come flying in after the revelation that "Inside Job" brought to the public but, I guess some people look at things like this as a part of life. Although "The Volcker Rule is pretty effective, I need a lot more regulation to truly feel safe and it still does not completely end the dangerous . I find it really difficult to create a bill that will satisfy both those who are outraged at big business and those small businesses who are angry at the cost of government regulations. Not a bill at all but I guess it could be done but it would take a brain trust with the creativity and ingenuity of F.D.R's to create this bill, but a start would be that is required of both financial advisors and a political advisors to agree on something before giving a 535 million dollar loan to a company. Or Something like that, I guess?
