IMHO...everything was going along swimmingly until 2005-2006 when the MSM and Nancy Pelousy started prattling about “the worst economy EVER”...and the Dems took the Congress in 2006 with the complicity of the MSM.
Its not altogether ‘Bammy’s fault...but that of his enablers and the Democrat Party.
The Subprime Housing Bubble was going to burst, no matter what. It was inevitable. However, yes, you are correct that the Democrats are interfering with our economic recovery.
