6. And the SEC that regulates securities is under the influence of the President
Bush appointed Repulican Chris Cox after all and has the primary influence on the SEC. And the Bush Administration in February, 2007 refused to regulate the hedge fund industry, stating that it could regulate itself and report on its, based on non-binding principles.

THE NEW YORK TIMES

By STEPHEN LABATON
Published: February 23, 2007

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 — The Bush administration said Thursday that there was no need for greater government oversight of the rapidly growing hedge fund industry and other private investment groups to protect the nation’s financial system.

Instead, the administration, in an agreement it reached with the independent regulatory agencies, announced that investors, hedge fund companies and their lenders could adequately take care of themselves by adhering to a set of nonbinding principles.

7. that fact occurred to me just this am- after hearing a republican
say 'the Dem's have control of congress, and look where we are"-

Thanks for posting this.

I don't think it's gonna be easy to turn this mess around, but the only team that gives us any REAL reason to hope is Obama Biden.
We need them more than ever.

10. Mostly. It's theirs and everyone's who voted with them and failed to veto them...
...with a share of the blame for those of us who elected them and/or failed to lobby them hard enough.
