   No, you've asserted them, and you claimed they were the result of the change   
   in the laws.

   I don't have to show the changes were bad, you have to show they were good   
   by the standard you set.   
      
   So let's see the causality you claim exists.   
      
   Until then, it's just a matter of opinion.
