You misunderstand. The only point of my exchange with that Freeper mysterio was to illustrate I at this time support the bailout on its merits and NOT on who is on watch.
Getting to your post, BOTH parties are completely, entirely to blame for this entire episode. Both are to blame up to their necks. Both complicit. Both embraced every new debt bubble they could find to fill budgetary coffer and campaign contribution war chests.
Is Bush to blame for this. Not alone, no way. Is Clinton? He has some. 20 years of politicians loosening the reigns on Wall Street greeed? All of these bastards are complicit. Every stinking one of them.
I laugh at every post saying, “the Democrats own this crisis” or “the Republicans caused this crisis” or “Greenspan caused this.”
Yes, ALL OF THE ABOVE. Not exclusive. Most all of these greedy pigs in government and on Wall Street caused this and even worse, they embraced it. And many probably knew they were buildling a house of cards, but figured they could duck out before the crash and leave some other dumb bastard holding the back and taking the fall for it.
So when I answered mysterio that this is happening on the Democrats watch, it most certainly sure as shine is! AND the Republicans. They are both in this crisis up to their necks, and if there was ever a situation in modern American life I would address with the label “quagmire”, this Gordian Knot is it!
THEY ARE ALL TO BLAME.
