did you research any of what I said? If you do you will see what I’m saying is what happened. The full story plays out over several years as I related in my remarks. The bottom line is that the real estate boondoggle and the greed of Wall Street bankers, along with the ill fated wars, is what brought about the collapse.It all combined as a perfect storm. If you notice the economic recovery still seems to be hanging on the recovery of the housing industry.

Poor people whose combined assets are a fraction of the economy (while the top 1% control more than 50% of the economy) – poor people who want to own homes are responsible for the economic collapse? And it all started in 1977, which means Saint Reagan did nothing about it and the boom times in the 90′s never occurred?

Thanks for the laugh.

This languished for several years and then was ressurrected by Bill Clinton in 1994. Then Fanny and Freddy got into the act and along came the unscrupulous banking industry getting their greedy hands into the pie and the rest is history.

Of course it didn’t help that W embroiled us in a couple of wars and charged it off to the national credit card. And Iraq wasn’t based on lies either. All intelligence said Saddam Hussein had WMD’s. Why in hell do you think every one signed on for the invasion? It’s preposterous to think allied countries would join such a purpose if they didn’t believe it was a valid cause!

But, if you will check, you will find out that W and John McCain actually tried to rein in this nonsense in 2001. Several times, as a matter of fact. But the democratically controlled congress stopped them.

As for FOX news. I like O’Reilly, but get tired of the same old droning on by Hannity and have no idea how Van Sustern is still on her own show. By the time she is on, it is a total rehash of every thing that has been said before.

Rachel Maddow is as big a liar as you say FOX is. As for O’Donnell, he’s a joke. Ed is in a despicable league of his own. Shoot him and put him out of his misery.

And FYI: Majorities of Republicans in both the Senate and the House voted for the sequestration and then boasted that it was a victory for their side. Sorry to burden you with facts. I know they are difficult for your kind to grasp.

Let’s address your misunderstanding of some current facts. It was 8 years of Republican governance that exploded the debt, crippled the banking system and burned down the U.S. economy. On 20 Jan, 2009. The Republican leadership met at the Caucus Room, in D.C. and decided that they would vehemently obstruct everything that President Obama would attempt. That decision is responsible for our economy limping along these last four years. If they would have been more successful, we would still be in a recession. Because, as Senator Mitch McConnell said publicly, the Republican agenda was to make Obama a one term president. The Republican economic chickens have already come home to roost. It’s now called the Great Recession. Thanks to Mr. Obama, it’s not called the 2nd Great Depression. You would do yourself a huge favor by not watching so much Fox…
