It depends on what they think is the cause of the current collapse. If you're crazy enough, I am pretty sure you can blame it on what little regulation remained, getting in the way of good, honest business people trying to do good, honest business. I'm so tired of that old song. They've been singing it since FDR, and it's still not true, although they've sung it so long and so loud that it has actually bent many millions of minds into thinking that it is common sense. It never was, it is not now, it never will be. Dave Government is what we let it be. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
