If you realize both parties in Washington think our money is theirs and you trust them to do the wrong thing, this list is for you.
If you think there is a Santa Claus who is going to get elected in Washington and cut a few taxes and spend a few trillion and jump start the economy, and get our lost money back, this list is not for you.

You’re questioning Mark Levin’s credentials? The Holy Ghost of the Conservative Talk Radio Trinity? What are you, some sort of liberal? /s
I will get much hate mail for this. Levin has a much bigger audience with conservatives than Schiff who is more libertarian. But I couldnt help myself, It's priceless to be even be able to find records of this stuff. And the truth is the truth.
No offense but Levin remains right. The Bush economy was strong for nearly all of his presidency. Schiff is very much correct in what he said, so it is not one or the other. There were a number of things Bush could have done better, including keeping the dollar strong, but his policies created a growth and job creating environment throughout his presidency. He does not deserve ‘blame’ for tanking the economy.
I will view them all but I came across some interesting articles I thought you might like.

Everyone was carrying the water back then.
“Plenty of conservatives have criticized Fannie, Freddie and the CRA in the attempt to push back against the Newer Deals and Greater Societies liberals advocate in the name of economic stimulus. Mr. Woods goes much further, blaming not just affirmative-action-loving bureaucrats, lax lenders and boneheaded borrowers: The real villain in “Meltdown” is the Federal Reserve."
"Nobody wants to hear this, of course. So policymakers immediately return, once more with feeling, to their spending, borrowing and credit creation in a desperate attempt to re-create the boom or at least forestall the bust. Mr. Woods is persuasive that doing so only guarantees a worse day of reckoning down the road, like having a 15th glass of whiskey rather than calling it a night.“
