this is NOT about the tech bubble.
This is about the housing bubble that happened when there were NO broker rules.
You keep jsut saying "oh it only had a little effect".
You give NO facts or reasoning WHY these rules were held back for 8 long years leaving the brokers to be any ******* smuck the banks wanted to hire and train to do their bidding.
There bidding as we all now know was to roll subprime into mortgage securitites and sell them as triple A to buyers.
They cheated and LIED to make a quick buck and knew damned well at some point the bottom was going to fall out.
This is why you dont deregulate.
they **** us every time we get talked into by the right that deregulation will be fine.
The people they say we should "just trust" never turn out to be trustable
