thank Republicans??? Check out who voted for the "No Down Payment Left Behind" destructive housing bill. (The bad one with Bush not the bad one with Clinton.) Plenty of blame on both sides.

Free unbridled capitalism??? Hate to disappoint you but Wall Street, the Bankers, and the housing crash were NOT free market capitalism. When you artificially manipulate the system to allow houses to be purchased by individuals who did not previously qualify to buy a house, that is not free market.

lmao you call out the Tea Party for not knowing Socialism but you don't know the definition of free market capitalism. Corporatism, not capitalism, led to our financial disaster.
