that urkle one is mega awesome lol. but you got to lay some of that blame on bush too, his actions of deregulating the financial industry allowed the banks to make those stupid loans that went sour.
Skullinator, the problem wasn't a lack of regulation it was to much regulation. We REGULATED that these banks had to take on toxic loans, and we also REGULATED it so if they failed we would bail them out.
If we weren't there to bail them out, do you think any of these businesses would have made these poor business decisions? The absence of regulation is what we need, Laissez-faire capitalism will prevail always.
