The public needs to understand the truth about what caused this economic mess. Rubin and Clinton changed the rules at Fannie/Freddie giving birth to the caustic subprime loans. Democrats resisted all attempts to regulate and oversee Fannie/Freddie and all efforts to stop the coming trainwreck failed.
The public is never going to get it. Too many people have a rich guy vs little guy mentality, and they don’t understand that crooked politicians and their cronies are the real problem. Just look at those workers who took over that factory. They haven’t a clue as to what really caused this whole mess, and I don’t think they care. They here “corporate greed” and they think “rich Republicans”. The level of economic ignorance in the world is amazing.
what is required is a republican leader who will shout this out
and not stop. talking points need to be made about this. rudin
has been a crook from the get go. it amazes me that republicans allow themselves to be painted as the party of “big business,” while the dems
are incredible crooks. apparently, robert rubin has always hated rudy guiliani
because when rudy was ag, he knew rubin was a crook and tried but
failed to nail him. of course, rudy has his own problems and conflicts.
