massive Deregulation and the implementation of derivitives are 2 of the main factors of the late 20th century , that has allowed corruptors to take greater hold of america and in return for that , america was allowed to have a few more years of the wasteful good life....

they may have one more trick up their sleeves , to prolong the wasteful good life for america , for a few more years...but of course that will be in exchange for giving THEM even more power/control over a few reamining venues.

and when it all collapses, and its time to look at the spread sheet, americans will realize just how badly they got fucked in the deal. It isnt gonna be pretty....
