What corruption!

Rush is right on once again!
Clinton will be a huge wart on American History

As always, Rush is right. Nearly 10 years ago he named the 90's the "Decade of Fraud and Deceit".

Here's the problem with the theory that Clinton and his antics fueled the corporations to do their misdeeds. The same type of accounting procedures occurred during the S&L crisis of the 80's. And libs were quick to point to the Reagan administration as the culprit behind the irregularities that fueled that crisis. Even President Bush is defending his actions with a firm in the late 80's and early 90's on which he was a board member and the company participated in some of the same accounting technics that Enron, World Com, etal used. All prior to Slick Bill.

Wicki-wicki accounting schemes are as old as business itself. Blaming Clinton is fun and self gratifying for conservatives, but the fact remains that there was intense pressure to make a profit by these companies. As long as competitive pressures aren't too high or the economy keeps growing, these schemes will ususally hold up. But a blip.....and kaboom. And as a side bar, could you imagine the cries of socialist government interference had the Clinton administration tried to curb any of these practices?

As I said, it's fun to pile on someone who is our ideological enemy. But what was our excuse in the mid 80's to early 90's when the same practice was going on and one of our own was being blamed by the libs for executive office inaction?
