Reagan turned wall street into greedy gambler rather than investors
Over the years some say it was good because it brought discipline to the market. But if the street is nothing but gamblers, how can our economy have real growth without investing? Greedy gamblers are the foundation of our economy and it shows.

1. Not so...
It was not Ronald Reagan who turned Wall Street into Las Vegas but Phil Gramm. And Bill Clinton. The few conservatives, real conservatives, in Congress are opposed to the bailout. And opposed to giving the Secretary of the Treasury unbridled power. Hopefully they and some of the more sane Democrats will draw a line in the sand and block this.
