It makes the coming slump much more troubling than those of the last 50 years. To begin with, we never had such large opaque pools of capital and derivatives before. The Growth of Credit Default Swaps (above) to <strong>more than $47 Trillion in the last two years is just one indication.</strong> Bill Gross said it best. “The investment community has morphed into something beyond banks and something beyond regulation.

However, deregulation started under the presidency of Jimmy Carter AND Ronald Reagan was working with a Democratic Congress who rubber stamped all his proposals with the statement "he had a mandate." So the blame should be spread equally. I’ve never been a proponent of deregulation and agree that Reagan was.

I have spent my life taking care of myself and my family. When I see the people here in New Mexico who are 2nd and 3rd generation welfare I just want to scream. Whereas there are times when people need help, then help should be available, but to be on welfare as a child and continue the cycle through adulthood is a bit much. Thank you Paul3triple.

If you look back on Sen McCain's time in office-he was a thorn in GWB's side. His own party has fought against Sen McCain tooth and nail because this man is a MODERATE Republican. He holds strong personal views but from a political standpoint he tries to do what is best for the nation as a whole.
