We’ve had thirty years worth of deregulation – the loosening of government supervision. This has been the neoliberal  mantra preached by both major parties, the whole of the establishment press and almost every university  economics department in the country. It is central to the current disasters.  And if you want to identify symbolic figures in the legislated career of deregulation, there are  no more resplendent  culprits than the man at McCain’s elbow, Phil Gramm, and the man standing at Obama’s elbow at his press conference, Robert Rubin.</FONT></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FC19EA98-2386-45C9-B2D2-E15E43022118/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
