The GOP? I'm blinded by the ignorance of that comment.Wall Street ran a Ponzi scheme in the Bush years.
That's why the economy collapsed. Now we need to re-regulate the markets.
The Republican Party almost destroyed America.
Too bad the Dems didn't listen to the Republicans who warned them that more regulation was needed back in 2004. When it became apparent in 2004, with the sub-prime requirements in place, that both F&F needed regulation, the Republicans were begging for that regulation. Frank, Waters, et al saw no need for any regulation.
Here is an excellent example of how these folks ignored this problem back in 2004. Democrats on Fannie Mae in 2004 Video - sevenload
Note Democrats Waters, Meeks, Frank, Clay say "there is no crisis", "nothing is wrong", "I don't see any ... problems", "not worried about safety and soundness". Even Bill Clinton tells us there is no problem.
Also note Republicans Royce, Baker, Shays, Manzullo all call for regulation, control, bonus reform, etc.
That great, conserevatives have complete control of all branches of the goverment, then, as soon as they lose Congress, start to lecture Dems on what needs to be done. WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE CARE OF IT!
YOUR FIRST CLUE. Repub*I*Cans had Control. True Conservatives would have NEVER let any of this slide.
You need to learn the DIFFERENCE between Republicans/Conservatives. They aren't Synominous. And therefore why they are RepubIcans
