The Onion Futures Act

Sadly, our government is still reactive with a put-a-bandaid-on-it mentality. It's a lot easier than dealing with the underlying flaws allowing anyone to corner any market and manipulate prices, and you don't have to fight against your donors.

The Onion Futures Act has a lot in common with Dodd-Frank - the act passed after the housing bubble. Both go to extremes in one area, but fail to address the underlying problem.

Do we need rules that run deeper, or do we just need more practical wisdom? (http://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_using_our_practical_...) I'm honestly not sure.
