Eliminate, cut, deregulate. I still want to know what regulations he cut. So far all you have pointed out is Congress rewriting the the FHA down payment requirements and a long winded rant about an agency he had no control over doing something you do not like.
In order to back it up with facts you have to show that the regulations that existed were ignored, weakened, or unenforced by something Bush did. You have not even shown that there were any regulations involved in what the fed did or did not do.
This is more like it. Not sure it lives up to what you are claiming it does since it uses an existing federal regulation to usurp state authority, but at least we can say this was something Bush had control over.
Unfortunately, it seems that the OCC was actually enforcing existing federal regulations and laws, and claiming that those laws preempted state laws and regulations.
OCC issues predatory lending guidelines
I hate to say it, but if we follow current legal precedent, they are right. Still don't see any real evidence of Bush deregulating anything.
I'm satisfied that I made the case here that Bush deregulated the financial system. people can look at my version of the facts and your version and decide which ones they like best.
You provided one actual link to someone under Bush enforcing an existing regulation and that somehow proves that Bush deregulated an entire industry? You have no version of the facts, you have wild accusations and a massive conspiracy, the only thing you are missing is a trail of dead bodies to hide the evidence.
Who is making the wild accusations here? The fund manager I quoted who called the bubble and the bust or the New York Attorney General, or Bush himself making a speech where he says that no deposit loans to people with risky credit histories will now be allowed? Like I said, people can read my version of the facts and your version and decide which one they like best.
