When the SEC allowed investment banks to shift to 40-1 leverage, they were following the lead of the Europeans. The euroweenies definitely played a role in inflating the global bubble.

It wasn’t easy, but he managed! You just have to multi-task when you are the left’s boogieman!

I love President Bush. Will always defend him and resent the fair weather friends that abandoned him. He was one helluva leader. Thank God for President Bush.

RE :”Could it be possible that Bush was not the cause of our global economic meltdown?

It was actually that evil Cheney that did it revenge for 2006 midterm election. He is powerful AND evil, but those brave heros at MSNBC are on his trail. Bush was puppet controlled by Cheney.

I put this theory with the one that George Soros did it, more likely was Greenspan.

Obambi makes a quick left hand turn and Prime Minister Brown gets a broken neck.

One of the biggest financial mistakes made in Europe was the ECB inverted its yield curve in order to combat high oil prices. One of the biggest causes of the oil bubble was W’s weak dollar. The ECB keeping its rates too high, especially after Bernanke started to ease, exacerbated the weak dollar.

It going to be interesting to see how the socialist euroweenies react to their revenue streams drying up.

“One of the biggest causes of the oil bubble was W’s weak dollar.”

INCORRECT...
Just like the Speculation bubble of the early 90’s, the “Oil Bubble” was financed using NEARLY FREE MONEY that came from Asian Banks.

ZERO PRIME INTEREST is a pretty tough deal to beat. it would be a net for the best/biggest borrowers of .75-1.25%.

And, again JUST LIKE THE EARLY 90’s, it only took one or two big speculators to fail a margin call for the whole thing to collapse.

The recession is probably worse there as they are farhter along the road to self-destruction than we are. Not until the last year of Bush’s second term did the Federal Government here get so mired in mucking up the free enterpriose system in such a blatant and extra-constitutional fashion.

Obama has merely accelerated what began in the Bush term.
