Again less regulation is a good thing, more oversight is a good thing.

You cant have your cake and eat it too.

Sure you can.

It's like giving rules to a child.

For example you don't want a child to eat sweets before bed.

Regulation is like saying "You can't be in the kitchen after 5pm"

Oversight is like telling your child he can't have sweets... then punnishing him for doing it.

Predatory lending was illegal... it's just nobody bothered to have any oversight.

Some people believe regulation and assurance is better. If he's not in the kitchen he obviously can't eat the sweets kept there.

Other people believe oversight and freedom is better. If he's not aloud in the kitchen he can't do a great number of things he can do that's perfectly ok for him to do. Like get some juice or play a game on the kitchen counter.

Kasz, sound logic and reasoning in a political thread rarely work.

But, Thank you for pointing out the definitive differences between "oversight" and "regulation"

 

They're the same damned thing.

How do you figure?  One is being restrictive to prevent an action from happening.

The other is watching someones actions and punishing them from doing the illegal act.

It's the difference between telling soemone they can't own a gun and punishing people who shoot other people.
