EVEN ONE IS TOO MANY

I just looked at the member list of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission and it includes a wacko from AEI:
Peter J. Wallison

Peter Wallison holds the Arthur F. Burns Chair in Financial Policy Studies and is co-director of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI)'s program on Financial Policy Studies. Prior to joining AEI, he practiced banking, corporate and financial law at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher in Washington, D.C. and New York.

Mr. Wallison has held a number of government positions. From June 1981 to January 1985, he was General Counsel of the United States Treasury Department, where he had a significant role in the development of the Reagan Administration's proposals for deregulation in the financial services industry. During 1986 and 1987, Mr. Wallison was White House counsel to President Ronald Reagan.
