    I remember one dude down at Jonesie's transmission shop saying something to that effect.

    Simply you saying "something of that affect" just goes to show how ineffective our grandparents were during WW2.

    Maybe he did, but two terms of Bush and Republican Congresses had ample opportunity to "unsign" it.

    That's absolutely true. I didn't think of it that way.

    The thing with the housing bubble is weird. I'm not sure I fully understand how it was generated even though I've done a paper on the bailout. What I know about a little is the securities being grouped the way they were was irresponsible because of exactly what happened - the investors lost a whole lot because the securities were based on mortgages that were subprime unsafe loans that people bought into at low introductory (predatory) rates and then their interest or whatever kicks in. Anyway... not only was predatory lending unchecked, but they didn't say "hey, you can't bundle those mortgages and sell them on the stock market because they aren't a secure product!". So the auditors and accountants blew it for not catching that if you ask me.

    After the fact, there was a big stink in the accounting industry. Generally accepted accounting principles were reviewed. There was a lot of talk about Sarbanes Oxley -

    That guy is gungho Trump too, if I recall! :)

    But repealing/relaxing all of the constraints on our financial industries is a mistake, obviously. They love money sooo much that they can't get enough of it? I don't understand what the motivation is honestly. I guess that overregulation makes us less competitive with China or something, but that doesn't motivate me! It's a farcical approach to governance.

    It indicates the 2 party system is not working properly anymore. And that your country is polarized thanks to people like you AND stormountainman.

    I've been to the Yukon Territory once back in the early 90s. Didn't get citizenship.
