I dont know as much about the regulation of the swaps. Hell I didn't know what they were until about six months ago. I understand that they really amounted to insurance but were being carried under a different category and this is why there were no reserves. I don't know, perhaps you do, whether there were existing regulations which were not enforced, or whether new regs were needed.

If so I don't know who if anyone proposed the regs,etc. Just an issue I don't know much about, except that someone in the government surely dropped the ball and I suspect there is plenty of blame to go around.
