Rick Perry, Ron Paul and Herman Cain Talk About Faith in Stock Market

On a day when the Dow tumbled nearly 400 points, Republican presidential candidates at the CNBC debate were asked how they would "restore faith" in the stock market.

Rick Perry and Ron Paul focused on government interference and picked up on the "crony capitalism" critique issued by Michele Bachmann earlier in the debate.

Perry, who has been criticized for coziness with large corporate donors as governor of Texas, assailed a "culture in Washington, D.C., with corporate lobbyists having cozy relationship with the people that are supposed to be regulating them."

Also echoing Bachmann, Herman Cain singled out Dodd-Frank financial regulations. Listing "three problems" of the legislation, Cain blamed the law for creating the financial bubble that burst.

"The other two problems with it are [Chris] Dodd and [Barney] Frank," Cain said to laughter and applause.
