Well which is it? Either the president controls the economy or does not, same with Congress...
Why does one elect a President or any leader?
Careful....if this is the first time you've tried to think you could wind up with an aneurysm!
Why because they like him...We have yet to see when Bush didn't have anything to do with the crash..wait, oh yes we did...the GOP has been doing it for 7 1/2 years..
1. "We have yet to see when Bush didn't have anything to do with the crash..wait, oh yes we did."
"We"???
Moe and Curly chose you as spokesman???
Congrats!
2. Let's clarify this for you:
Democrat policy is the explanation for the mortgage meltdown.
If FDR hadn't invaded the private housing market, created Fanny Mae.....there never would have been a mortgage meltdown.
1. Democrat FDR shredded the Constitution....ignoring article I, section 8, the enumerated powers.
He created GSE's Fannie and Freddie to do something the Constitution didn't authorize: meddle in housing.
2. Democrat Carter....the CRA, constraining banking policy
3. Democrat Clinton....strengthened the CRA
Under Clinton, HUD threatened banks, again, to give unrequited loans.
Henchmen: Democrats Cisneros and Cuomo.
4. Democrats Frank and Dodd barred any governmental discipline in this area.
That's the CliffNotes version.
I don't believe you can handle the details.
3. And this...
"Democrats Were Wrong on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
The White House called for tighter regulation 17 times.
Seventeen. That's how many times, according to
this White House statement (hat tip
Gateway Pundit), that the Bush administration has called for tighter regulation of the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Much if not all of that could have been prevented by a bill cosponsored by John McCain and supported by all the Republicans and opposed by all the Democrats in the Senate Banking Committee in 2005. That bill, which the Democrats stopped from passing, would have prohibited the GSEs from speculating on the mortgage-based securities they packaged. The GSEs' mission allegedly justifying their quasi-governmental status was to package or securitize such mortgages, but the lion's share of their profits—which determined top executives' bonuses—came from speculation."
