My solution would require going back in time and back handing Clinton for agreeing to the deregulation of banking and lending institutions. I think you and I are in agreement that there is no perfect economic model and that adjustments are required to any model to meet some measure of success. Where we might disagree is that I believe that some key institutions *must* be regulated for the good of all.
I watched the value of my home plummet in value as a consequence of the Savings and Loan deregulation debacle a couple of decades ago. The subprime fiasco is identical in every aspect, but it appears that we don't learn from our experience.
Charlatan, I'll stop beating this poor horse after saying once again that a very small group of people may get some temporary relief, and the lion's share of the initiative is to protect the banks and lending companies that leveraged themselves to dangerous levels.
Geebus, how could CitiGroup be so reckless?
