The CRA under that bumbling fool Carter started it all, then the democrats continued to protect Fannie and Freddie from the regulation Bush tried to implement.

Just the facts.

Umm, you tend to make lots of accusations, and never back them up.

Before you accuse me of making an ad hominem (like you do to everyone else), you mind backing it up?

Okay, I'll accept your premise: It's still the Democrat Party's fault. They are the ones who created the sub-prime market, via the CRA, and they are the ones who mishandled Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, all the while feathering their own nests, and in denial, when the Republicans raised the red flag and said "this is going to crash" (my words).

The Democrats would have none of it. They were too busy getting rich off of it and getting their little "sweetheart deals" from Countrywide and other.

Have you ever listened to that recording of Barney Frank, Barbara Lee, and others, when they said there was "no problem"? You need to listen to it. It makes it very clear.

You'll find that most of them do it that way. They also like to deny Clinton's link to Chinas free trade with the U.S. that opened up moving our jobs to China.

Yeah, like when he says your credibility is lost, we should just take his word for it, after the spanking he got earlier.

Don't hold your breath waiting - I'm still waiting for him to find the correct chart/data from another thread.

Do you really think a blogger expressing an opinion debunks anything?

You have to first have some basic knowledge of how we got where we are and simple math along with some basic economic fundamentals. It has been demonstrated you have none of those.
