Quote:The Dems had a majority of the House and the Senate beginning in January 2007. You know, the ones who write the laws (at least before Boehner and Ryan decided to rubber stamp whatever Obama sent them). Bush was a Pub, but not a conservative. The Dems controlled both houses when the TARP bailout was passed, and Hillary is owned by the big banks.


 

The 2008 collapse was mainly due to the Feds forcing the banks to give mortgage loans to unqualified applicants, which was a Dem program. The banks themselves took advantage of the law to pad their revenue. The failure to recover to 2007 levels is on the Dems who controlled the presidency, the Senate until 2014, and the House until 2010. Even after taking over both houses in 2015, the Pubs gave Obama everything he asked for in the budget. We're still at a median income below 2007, and tens of millions of working-age Americans are jobless but don't count towards the unemployment figure.
