Maybe, in light of the fact that we are now teetering on the brink of financial collaspe, in retrospect, more government regulation of the lending industry might have been a better course.
One good thing, most of the windows on Wall St don't open, so we don't have people jumping.

...the history books you're learning from were copyrighted in 1985.

Well, we actually fought against Russian pilots flying Red Chinese MIGs during the Korean War - that's been confirmed by Soviet pilots who defected. That's certainly more than never...

Actually, some of the history books I have are more than 100 years old and accurate as well - but I shudder to think of anyone viewing the '80's as "Yesteryear" -

Eeeeee cooodeesh.
