  • What did Congress expect when it deregulated greed and corruption and made whatever had been criminal behavior legal? All in the name of global competitiveness. When you leave the national vault open and then scream because criminals (gluttons) walk off with the treasure, there is something wrong with your head. More doublespeak about today's global economy and how great it is for everyone?
