Yes, Enron was just one of those shining examples of how well market forces
work

Enron was more a shining example of how little government entities
actually understand how market forces work and illustrates what happens
when they try to legislate to their desires instead of how the real
world works.

Knew it would take long to blame the liberals for making Enron out to be thieves

No one ever said market forces or free economies are perfect.
Like everything else, they are not. But they are the best,
most efficient and successful system
anyone on this planet has found. Where liberals go wrong is
they find anything that has a bad outcome, whether in free
markets or society and instantly assume that govt control or
^more
another govt program is the answer. Yet, they never question
the high failure rate and inefficiency of govt, which has produced
results far worse than Enron.

Enron *was* a failure of government, just as the housing market crash was a
failure of government.

Only a leftist moron would disallow futures trading by power companies, for
example. Forcing them to buy on the spot market is just demanding that some
one else fill that void, at the rate-payers' expense.
