Its Reagan's fault!

He imposed the moratorium that limited new offshore drilling permits. And GHW Bush added his own Executive Order.

Two wacky environmental extremists!

You gotta love the classic Palin/Fox "blame the environmentalists" argument.

For the ill-informed......You cant enforce what no longer exists and the near full repeal of Glass Steagall left little in the way of banking/financial services regulation.

I don't know;however, that was part of why derivatives were so complicated.
So that they would be hard to regulate

What nonsense is that?

The fact that the moratorium limiting permits to drill on the OCS goes back to 1981?

Or the fact that the Financial Services Modernization Act effectively repealed Glass Steagall and tore down the wall between commercial banking and investment banking?

It is apparent you enjoy each other immensely but your banter is destroying discourse.

What a load of crap.

Classicman makes a comment:

And I point out that it goes back to Reagan's moratorium.

along with MHO that the blame the environmentalist game is a load of crap as well.

Who fucking cares?! Not everyone plays team politics, some actually want to DISCUSS THE ISSUES. It was Reagan that offered up the last round of amnesty for illegal aliens - doesn't stop you from carping that the conservatives are all opposed to it.

It's your blatant bias that we disapprove of, Redux. Not so much your "questioning." It's that you're such a bigot, and that your attitude seems so much to be "what need have I of principle or values, as long as there is the Party?" In your case, the Democratic Party, a crew only slightly more worthy than the CPUSA, and for the same reasons.

Meanwhile, the kind of people you support, and we're too principled to, are under discussion in this article.
