Why? Politicians use this messy jargon everyday. Both in written
legislation, and political campaign promises. No one seems to care, so I
thought it was acceptable.

As far as spelling a word that is misleading by its commonly accepted
surface defintion, you're right. MS Word spell check won't let me use
"irregardless". No, I don't use any form of spell or grammar check.

If that's all you got is a spell check, I'll bow out now.

CDOs are how we got here.
A modified version, new taxes in the future, is how Congress will get us
out?

O.K., then I'll criticize your English.

Irregardless, with its illogical negative prefix, is widely heard,
perhaps arising under the influence of such perfectly correct forms as:
irrespective. Irregardless is avoided by careful users of English. Use
regardless to mean 'without regard or consideration for' or
'nevertheless': | I go walking every day regardless of season or weather.

Some poorly backed CDOs are what in effect killed the economy.
Isn't it convenient that the new bankruptcy laws (2 years ago) allow for
bankruptcy on yachts and second (or third) homes, but not on principal
residences. Somebody saw today's crisis coming but could our
representatives in congress sound the alert to their constituencies? Of
course not.
