Carter deregulated the S and Ls. 1979.

When he left office in Jan of 1981, about 90% of the S and Ls were losing money.

Reagan had to deal with the mess, and the bail out began in 1986 and ran through 89. So Bush would have been around for part of the debacle, but he was batting clean up. You can look it up.

As Casey Stengel used to say. Or maybe it was Durocher, maybe I should look that up. Think I will.
