I think when that pork bill passed on the Transportation initiative, I knew then that the GOP had surrendered. <BR/><BR/>I wonder, though, on the "deregulation" issue if we shouldn't consider the failure as caused by more intense "regulation" - that being Clinton's ratcheting up of the CRA rules which forced banks to make bad loans so they could get more of the loan money.
