Ted, you seem to be in a bad mood. No, not at all. I made lots of money today. That makes me very happy. ;-) Liberals love to blame the supposed "lack of regulation" for our current economic woes without ever mentioning what sort of "regulation" could have prevented this mess. Not at all. I am the first to squawk when there is over regulation.......don't forget where I live. However, I know for fact what went on during the earlier years of this decade. Its my industry......I am familiar with all the ins and outs of it. A lack of regulation and greed led to the Bush debacle just as it did in the 1920s. When called out on it, you get really testy and accuse me of being ignorant and in denial. I'll take that as an admission of defeat on your part. If I am annoyed at all, its because a while back I took a good of time to explain it to you in fairly good detail. A few weeks later its as if I said nada. It gets old.

"Liberals love to blame the supposed "lack of regulation" for our current economic woes without ever mentioning what sort of "regulation" could have prevented this mess." Oh, where to START? How about a lot of the regulation that has been put in place and back in place since the beginning of the Bush Great Depression II? 1. You need more than a pulse to get a mortgage. Hell, you probably need a DOWNPAYMENT! You not only need docs, you need a good credit score! You have to show proof of income! 2. Banks can no longer have in-house market players. 3. Derivitives are traded on open exchanges. ..and on and on and on..
