the funny thing is that the deregulation that everyone is blaming on the Rs was pushed by Robert Rubin. Rubin’s fingerprints are all over the current financial “crisis” and of course all over citigroup-but no one is asking any questions about him, in fact his “disciples”-Summers and Gehtner are the current power in Washington.
You are correct in a great sense. Rubin’s hands reek with an almost treasonous stench, but he did not act alone. I want you to understand that I was born a conservative republican, I cried in the 7th grade when Agnew was forced to resign, but deregulation was pushed as hard by Phil Graham (R) of Texas as anyone. There are a lot of dirty hands here. We have been let down by the people we supported. I kinda always expected that from the Dems.
