I disagree. The problem was caused by deregulation of the futures. We don't know how much impact there is simply because the deregulations made it where the futures can't be tracked and domestic futures can be traded overseas. Other deregulations which happened about the same time and which are also effecting us? Enron and sub-primes. Tighten up the regulations and close the loopholes and you'll be on better footing to attempt a recovery. The Republicans were the ones who drove the deregulations and so don't want it fixed due to the special interests pulling their strings.
