My point was that what the Republicans brought, lower taxes and deregulation, isnt going too well.

My point is that greed cant be regulated

Blaming the WS mess on politicians is like blaming the girl who wore the pretty dress for getting raped. WS is in the mess they are in because of greed. It may be simplistic but in the end they cut their own throats.

Deregulation is the biggest culprit. And if you can't understand that, then i dont know what to tell you.

Yeah ok. Sarbanes-Oxley was a model of deregulation.

Greed is constantly regulated with the fear of embarassment and punishment. Don't you think seeing that Viet Nam fighter pilot(San Diego area Congressman ...Randy ?) go to prison did something to control greed in others?

I think when this simmers in the average guy's stomach a while, they are gunna realize this is all about simple greed. Why should innocent American's have to pay for the greed of the people in these huge companies? Go track some of this money down that was made in these bad loans. They've distributed a bunch of money to employees etc., and now they run and hide. Go find it. Where is the interest in finding out where the money went? All they care about is bailing them out after they took bad risks to make quick money. You want smaller gov't? Yea, my a-s-s you do. The party that appears less supportive of greed is gunna win this election. They both will try to appear that way. The one that people think is most interested in tackling greed (because this is about American Greed) is the one who will win the close states. The companies are international(you see other countries bailing them out?,) but the bad loans made here were overlooked due to tolerance of greed by Americans. We can blame ourselves for allowing politicians on both sides to let big business run wild with greed. These same politicians are running to bail them out. All this bail out is gunna do is delay the pain. Eventually the price has to be paid for allowing these big companies to go wild with greed(and later then fall back on the American taxpayer to socialize their losses.) These companies cry bloody murder whenever asked for any of the profit, but know they can get a bail out if they go belly up. Where are those that want smaller gov't? Where are you now? We damn sure better try to regulate greed.

In a hotel room, couldn't sleep. I was hoping to learn something. One can always hope....

Haven't seen any GGW infomercials in a while. Is Joe Francis still in jail?

.....bankruptcy is the grand do-over in business.....same family as bailouts,except bailouts don't seem to have the same penalty for the bailers!

Tim says it's 4:20, though my clock says otherwise. I'm right on it. I'll have to run up to the computer store and buy one of those new hardware add-ons, the one that lets you blow smoke thru the computer to someone on the other end. Instead of an e-mail, I think it's called a doobie mail
