Former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer says the new wave of banking laws coming out of Congress is a "regulatory charade." He argues all of the mechanisms were already in place to avoid the financial crisis, but regulators failed to use the power they already had.

Now this is a conspiracy theory I can get behind.

The conspiracy of self perpetuating incompetence. Now THAT is the government I am familiar with!

Makes you wonder if he was exposed because he was so outspoken. Or he is just speaking out because he can now. Was he this blunt about economic/financial matters before the scandal?

i hope you make a come back Mr Spitzer, you got my vote! Sure you did a very stupid thing, but that's between you and your wife.

Spitzer should be in the Senate or better yet President. So what he was caught with a prostitute. Does not disaqalify this person to run for high office. What Spitzer does in his private life is own business with the spouse not ours. There is no question Elliot Spitzer is qualified to run for high office and he should not have resigned as gov of New York. My Home State. Spitzer broke a NYC Cardinal Law - New Yorkers Never Quit -

Mr. Cherkasky also brought Mr. Spitzer into the NYC County DAs office. Today Cherkasky is a substantial contributor to Spitzers campaign for New York State Governor. Cherkasky was bumped up to head Marsh McLennan in 2004.

can't even imagine why a busy guy like spitzer would even bother to take the time to announce how bad the system is. It's a credit to his integrity and high character that he does and it just magnifies the unfairness of people that criticize him.
