    Bush Administration Proposes Sweeping Overhaul of Financial Regulation

    <p>To me, he is advocating more lassiez faire when that is the policy that got us into this mess in the first place. The problem with the current efforts is that people are trying to put a bandaid on a broken bone. Like a doctor, the policy makers need to identify the problems in the system...
