GWB was always a deregulation guy, and he was President for 8 years before the 2008 crash .. seems you could have better addressed the first bit of your post to SoxFan, anyway, i think his position taken in context, and not read clinically literally, was more on the mark than this bit from your link ..
which, since we all know the Republicans were the biggest legislative deregulation drivers though the '60's to 1999, leaves a false equivalence .. so no .. i don't think his was total bs .. and as far as rewriting history goes, well, seems to me GWB and his side do much more of that, too .. lol, on that note i wonder how the conservative attempt to re-write the bible is going .. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=95227913 ..
