The people who really caused the recession are the ones who borrowed too much and spent too much. Soros did not force their hands.
Soros and the Dems were clearly behind allowing these people to overextend themselves. This is a decades long process that came to a head at in 2008. Soros manipulated the oil and currency markets and timed it exactly to cause a perfect storm. Soros has tested this techniques in Europe and Thailand on several occasions. It would surprise people how little $$$$ it takes to actually move a market. Jim Cramer has openly admitted several times.
