Would the US recession have been worse if the Bush administration hadn’t introduced the Sarbanes-Oxley Act? | Compliance Sarbanes Oxley

Would the US recession have been worse if the Bush administration hadn’t introduced the Sarbanes-Oxley Act?

After all, Sarbanes-Oxley forced a certain degree of accountability and transparency onto companies. Would there have been more companies like AIG, Lehman Brothers, General Motors, Fannie Mae etc. if the Act hadn’t been introduced, thus making the recession even worse?

Would you go as far as to say Pres. Bush even deserves credit for making the recession not as bad as it could have been?

Everyone knows that act was a joke considering it has never been implemented. Hello – gas prices were at 1.10/gal when Bush took office and over $3 when he left – they tripled in 8 years causing massive inflation and the tanking of the economy – something we’ve never experienced before. I’ll give him 100% credit for it.

    Just as Charles Manson deserves credit for not eating the people he killed.

    Compare this to article 1 section 8 of the constitution as well as the 9th and 10 amendment to the bill of rights. It was unconstitutional.
    I voted for G Bush twice as he was better than his opponent.
    I am as hard on him as I am democrats.
    It would have been worse. Every time the government does not allow the free enterprise system to work it will make it deeper and longer!
