You are aware that the Gramm Leach Biliey act of November 1999 was sponsored by one Chuck Shumer and Chris Dodd who guaranteed the democratic party would fall in behind the act, furthermore that Barney was a big supporter? Or did you just overlook this small bit of fact? Furthermore you are aware that the effort to remove the GSE from government control proposed by Reagan in the early 1980's was shut down by what party and by whom? take flying guess? My assumption that the cumulative effect of 60 plus years of government meddling in the housing industry was all the republicans fault? As one Milton Friedman once stated, the role of government is to govern not to meddle control, and intrude in the free market for it has the mechanisms built in to punish and reward poor management.
But heck when you have nothing to stand on why not blame someone else for your miserable record.
I think we all bought the free market crap at least a little bit, the smart ones wised-up long ago.
Give us the name of ONE Democrat who stood up against these practices.
Don't hold your breath sniper, he can't. Free market crap is his or her worst enemy, because deep inside every living person is the desire to succeed and receive compensation in keeping with the sweat that rolls down their back and they don't want to give that compensation up so some fool can sit on their ass. But then again there are those that feed off people that work, social parasites, who see the government as their savior and life blood.
