Whether we like it or not, Bush will be known as the president on whose watch this economic disturbance occurred. I don’t think it was his fault, but none the less he is going to be have this hung around his neck for eternity.

I may be the last guy on the planet to know it, but I was unaware of the loans that were being given out to people who didn’t have means to pay them back. If Bush had done his job, I would have known about it years ago. The general public would have, and Conservatism would have been standing tall having objected to the practice.

At the current time, those types of loans are still being made. People without means to repay loans are non the less having them reconfigured at this time. As far as I know, new poor loans are being granted.

So what have we learned here? What real end to this mess have we actually installed? As far as I can tell, we are still setting ourselves up for future failures.

If my perception of what is taking place is accurate, and please folks by all means let me know if it isn’t, then Bush will essentially take the blame for something he didn’t help avoid. That is probably fitting.

I do believe the Democrats masterminded this catastrophe, but our side did not object loudly enough. We essentially played along. Remember, we had the majority in Congress for six years of Bush’s presidency. And the Republicans let this happen.
