The first example presented. Well done. Congrats to the WaPo for finding it, two months into the crisis.

All in good fun. :D

Pico is still trying to figure out what it means.;)

LOL

Oh no Merc, I figured it out. You are a poser. You like to throw around derogatory terms in your posts even though you cant back them up.

:D

Must be a nice view from up there Pico.

Yeah, she can see your comb-over : sniggers: .

LOL @ zen.

The fact that The Economist was even quoted blaming deregulation - even used the word deregulation - and then The Economist provideds examples? Somehow that was not an example?

I asked a simple question but neither one of you wanted to answer it. Theres nothing holier-than-thou about it.

What simple question?

:eyebrow:

Awww maaaaaaan. This is why I said forget about it.

From the Washington Post of 24 Nov 2008: Only a day earlier, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson said the banking industry had been stablized. Enron accounting is so rampant that even one day later, the largest institution is on the verge. Paulson has not a clue. Meanwhile, the solution to this was obvious in 2001 according to that previously quoted Washington Post article. Instead we made it worse. We deregulated people who must be heavily regulated.

Yea, we look up and see nothing but assholes. Good job Pinko.

You're full of shit Merc. You know you wouldnt answer my question, why does that make me an asshole?

Hey look! a talking asshole!

Damn, you are a jerk. You get mean when you get pinned.
