You know, like statistics!! In other words, regulation actually has helped make these bubbles much larger than they could have been in a non-regulated environment where people would, for good reason, be less trusting of institutions!! Sadly, many people actually still trust gubmint to a greater extent than deserved. Of course, in either scenario, it still takes a legal system where crooks who take advantage of others are actually PUNISHED!! So far no one in in gubmint or business, except Madoff and other small time crooks, are in any danger of losing money or liberty over their abuses of the rest of us. admin,

This act ensures that banks are banks, investment houses investments houses, and not mixtures. One would hope it gets put back the way it was.

Winding up AIG is much simpler that entangling a complex intermediary, say. Question is, was the decision to put AIG on life support just a bad decision in the heat of the moment, or as the article argues, the good old boys calling in favors.

He himself admitted that the regulator COULD HAVE shut down AIG but ACCEPTED THEIR WORD for the validity of the derivatives!!! This is what happens when POLITICS is mixed with BUSINESS!!! NO regulation. If you F!#@ up, YOU PAY!!! Bring back debtors prison. Send them to GITMO!!!! "When one considers the comparatively extensive system of congressional checks and balances that goes into the spending of every dollar in the budget via the normal appropriations process, " This man is delusional. A lot of excellent information though. Don’t understand why he put so much emphasis on regulation or lack thereof.
