Abstract: Abstract President George W. Bush has reassured us that ‘From the antitrust laws of the 19th century to the S&L reforms of recent times, America has tackled financial problems when they appeared.’ But the Savings & Loan reforms came seven years and 150 billion taxpayer dollars late. Nor did that problem merely ‘appear’ It was created, by a deregulation bill in 1982, overseen at that time by the Vice President, the elder George Bush.
