This isn't a riot. Lol. Do you even know what a riot is? Cops don't peacefully tiezip rioters hands. They beat them. I saw no beating. Come back when there's tear gas in the street. If people wanted to really riot, they would. Most of America is too apathetic or immersed in their own problems to actually come together for something that is beneficial to the country.
Red / Blue it's all purple on the hill. They have an unhealthy in breeding program in the house. They are all in the mud together. Fighting for their jobs and prestige.
Throw them all under the bus and get some real American Patriots in there.
Let's not mince words about where the idea came from. Financial deregulation is a 1980's-1990's conservative ideology. Democrats were always accused of "too much regulation stifling innovation." This is a decades-old accusation. Subprime mortgages were considered "financial innovation" among the GOP that distributed risk just like magic. When subprime went bad, they did a 180 and tried to figure out a way to blame it on "liberals."
It is telling that conservatives themselves can't even agree between:
a. Financial deregulation was a problem, and it is the Democrats' fault.
or
b. Financial overregulation was the problem, our problems were all CRA, Fannie and Freddie. (Nevermind that many in the GOP supported Fannie and Freddie)
nope it was the globalist progressives (which bsuh is part of)...and the bank bailout,....had obama's BLESSING,,and geitner too
and who depegulated the banks...the democrat congress of 1992...and then further by clinton in 1995, and then finally clinton with graham-leachy
So what you are saying is that the Republicans, (or Conservatives I guess since what you state makes 60% of the Republican party globalist progressives) have done nothing wrong or took no part in this mess that has been building for the last 30 years?

It was either greed or hubris, that led congress to think we were technologically advanced enough to do away with old legislation like Glass-Stegall. I'm leaning towards a little of both.
