The economic troubles started along time ago. I would pin it to 1913 when the Federal Reserve was created. The value of the dollar has dropped 95% since it's creation and then Nixon taking us of the gold standard in 1972 which now allows the government to print money out of thin air which devalues the dollar even more. It's not about regulation, it's about big government out of control. Wow, sassinfras is way off. The economic troubles started along time ago.
