So why didn't the republicans fix this? They had congress and a pres. Why didnt they want to raise interest rates? Why didn't they try to regulate it more? Face it, they got cought with their pants down too, bush even trumpeted house ownership. They didn't think there would be a bust either and now both sides are trying to point fingers. Americans are smarter, they know that both sides screwed up. Trying to blame only one party is such a foolish and partisan position it is laughable.

This is what everyone who is blaming the Democrats is ignoring, that the Republicans had more than enough power to get this passed if they really wanted it.

 

Not when it was only the conservatives pushing the reform... and the Neo-cons joined with the democrats in stopping it. Well the Neocons and those getting a lot of lobbying money.

 

 

So then we just lump the neo-con and politicians that were lobbied with the democrats? Those were republicans. There is no way to spin it. Both parties botched.
