financial crisis

EXplained. it's really not all that complicated. and i laugh at the part that reads:

Conservative Republicans always want the government to stay out of business and avoid regulation as long as they are making lots of money. When their greed, however, gets them into a fix, they are the first to cry out for rules and laws and taxpayer money to bail out their businesses. Obviously, Republicans are socialists.

true. story.

a sound article on the wall street meltdown

is here

i agree that all of those who are libertarians and democrats, those who favor deregulation, really think about what deregulation has done for wall street and the economy. it's been proven time and again that allowing it to happen creates networks of disaster that end up in millions lost. from enron to wall street we go!
