Bush was extremely thrifty compared to what came after. Obama increases the deficit more than all other presidents *combined*.

for any Obama supporter to mock Bush for spending too much is like Mengele mocking R rated films for being grotesque.

This stooge Madoff ruined a lot of lives, and it is a shame he got away with it for so long. But it was the former administration that rooted out this evil. Had Obama’s people discovered it, this would be spun in a completely different way.

I wait breathlessly for the day these morons a cured of BDS. I wish they could be specific and tell me how quadrupling the nations debt in five short months is Bush’s fault. No, I didn’t approve of Bush’s spending either. That ought to tell you what I think of Big O’s fiasco.

Lefty conventional wisdom is that Bush deregulated the crap out of financial markets when he really didn’t do shit. Lefties spew that crap out without any knowledge of the subject matter, just BS talking points they read from some equally stupid blogger.

Indeed, daleyrocks, the answer is that nothing was “deregulated” with respect to the business that Madoff was in. Its just more of DCSCA’s inventions.

“If snoozer Cox and the SEC had been more alert and competent in this deregulated era”

Explain what was deregulated that affected Madoff, nimrod. Be specific.

As usual, you know nothing.

DCSCA #9 purports to blame Chris Cox who took over chairmanship of the SEC in June 2005. However, Madoff’s ponzi scheme began in 1992, and the SEC investigated Madoff in 1999, 2000, 2004, 2005 (an investigation begun before Cox’s tenure and completed a few months after his chairmanship began) and 2006 before the scheme was exposed.

This is typical of the BDS.

Let Ruth Madoff give her share of the loot back to the people her husband robbed. Till then, what she has to say isn’t worth spit.

People keep saying that Madoff (D-NY) was responsible for the biggest Ponzi scheme ever. The Dems as a whole have several government social programs that are far more so.

#4- If snoozer Cox and the SEC had been more alert and competent in this deregulated era, Madoff might not have made off with so much for so long. Greed, it seems, is not so good after all. It’s a sad mess all around. The wife should be forced to live in a south Florida trailer park and look forward to early bird specials like a lot of the folks who were scammed.
