With all that empirical data I posted, a fraction of what exist to prove the sub-prime collapse was mandated by Democrat policies that "loosened underwriting standards " ( HUDs own words) and forced the GSEs to buy up massive amounts of bad debt, bundle it up with good mortgages and then sell it your still focused on George Bush.
That mixture of quotes in my previous thread were from HUD and the GSEs own documents released during and after the collapse.
I think that Liberals suffer from a type of pathology similar to toxoplasmosis. Its like a turrets affliction that forces them to scream out "its Bush's fault"
It was Bush's administration, he had it with Repub majorities in both houses of congress, and you think it was NOT his irresponsibility?
I've shown Bush wanted 5.5 mil. minorities to be able to buy houses, that's about $550 billion, that's a good start on a big problem.
I've shown how Frist and the repubs killed FnF reform in the senate in 2005.
I've shown how Chris Cox at SEC changed regs to allow the 6 largest banks to triple their leverage, and how they all failed within the next 5 years.
I've shown how Greenspan had the authority to stop this, to regulate both bank and non-bank lending, and he failed to do his job (he's a lifelong repub).
So, unless you think Bush is not responsible after being pres. for 8 years when this all blew up and he had gotten all the legislation that he wanted passed by his congress, it is ON Bush.
