Its pretty simple to me.
The deregulation of S&Ls through the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act cost the taxpayers more than $150 billion in the 80s
The more recent deregulation of banking, insurance and financial services institutions through the Financial Services Modernization Act will cost the taxpayers more than $500 billion.

Its too late to look back now...but it is time to re-regulate NOT deregulate.
