Re: Will you vote for Hillary as ourr next President?
You mean the guy who presided over 8 years of peace and prosperity? You hyper-partisan hacks never seem to remember that part.
No, I'm talking about the Perjurer-in-Chief, the accused rapist and misogynist; the one who had to be carried kicking and screaming to a balanced budget by the new Republican House, and the man who was one of the most congenital liars on earth.
I know, maybe she'll turn a budget surplus into a deficit, lie her way into an unnecessary war and then botch it, and leave office in the midst of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Oh wait, that was some other guy, wasn't it?
The greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression was the result of your boys - specifically Slick Willie Clinton and Barney Franks (head of the oversight committee on Freddie and Fanny).
This happened under Clinton. It's a NY Times article from 1999:
"Fannie Mae, the nation's biggest underwriter of home mortgages, has been under increasing pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans among low and moderate income people..."
"
In moving, even tentatively, into this new area of lending, Fannie Mae is taking on significantly more risk, which may not pose any difficulties during flush economic times. But the government-subsidized corporation may run into trouble in an economic downturn, prompting a government rescue similar to that of the savings and loan industry in the 1980's."

That was Slick Willie's program that finally blew up under Bush.
And Democrat Barney Franks was negligent in overseeing it.
"As long as housing prices kept rising, the illusion that all this was good public policy could be sustained. But it didn't take a financial whiz to recognize that a day of reckoning would come. "What does it mean when Boston banks start making many more loans to minorities?" I asked in this space in 1995. "Most likely, that they are knowingly approving risky loans in order to get the feds and the activists off their backs . . . When the coming wave of foreclosures rolls through the inner city, which of today's self-congratulating bankers, politicians, and regulators plans to take the credit?"
(Barney) "Frank doesn't. But his fingerprints are all over this fiasco. Time and time again, Frank insisted that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were in good shape. Five years ago, for example, when the Bush administration proposed much tighter regulation of the two companies, Frank was adamant that "these two entities, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not facing any kind of financial crisis."

And that's why your knee-jerk argument above is nonsense. I could go into more detail on the rest, but I doubt you'll take this to heart.
