At very least, we must accord some halting credit to the Bush Regime for consistency. As in so many other departments of government, at the Fed. and Treasury, he/they have put foxes in charge of the henhouse. I can, at the moment, think of no more egregious example of this near-CRIMINAL insanity than here, in charge of the very basis; the bedrock, of the American economy. The result, both short- and long-term, therefore, is both tragic and predictable.
