Ya know Rick, you're becoming tedious in the extreme. Mind pointing out the post where I said the economy is wonderful? I've known 2 year olds that don't whine as much as you do. And seen people with one foot in the grave with more optimism than you seem to be able to find. It easy to imagine you gleefully smirking as you wrote the last post.

And by the way, which of your hero's is right? Dodd saying Bush didn't enforce the sufficient regulation that was in place. Or Frank saying the GOP gutted all the regulation. 'Cause quite frankly, I don't know which one of 'em right. And we'll ignore Clinton this morning saying the Dems wouldn't go along with him and the GOP on reining in Fanny and Freddy, since that doesn't fit the scenerio you've dreamed up.

Like it or not, this problem wouldn't exist without the subprime market which was put in place by the Democrats. I freely admit that the GOP didn't do enough to rein it in, but at least they tried. Dodd and Frank as recently as 2 months ago were saying there wasn't a problem with Fanny and Freddy.
You're just going to have to learn to live with the fact that there is no one convenient scapegoat with an R after their name to pin this on. It was a systemic failure.
