Watch 'The Ascent of Money' on PBS (you can stream it)

This deregulation frenzy started with Reagan, ably abetted by Bush 1, continued by Clinton and accelerated by Bush 2. Plenty of blame to go around. Let's put it this way... if the sh*thouse we are in now is due to Clinton, and couldn't be reversed by Bush, given EIGHT YEARS to do it, then anything that goes wrong in the next eight years is on Bush, no?

Or is that going to be, ONLY if something goes right in the next few years will it be Dubya's legacy. If it goes wrong, it'll be Obama...

Republicanism isn't a political party, it's a religion. When the facts don't fit, fall back on dogma, eh? The Republican president is like the Pope. Simply infallible... Anything goes wrong, it's Satan (Dems!), anything goes right, it's the Pope.

You'd have thought they would have sought a tax-free religious status by now
