  • the Republicans wanted those loans just as much as the Democrats did... everyone wants to give pork to everybody all the time, that is how the American system works (it is hard to call what we have a "democracy".. so I'll stick to "system)

  • Why don't you explain to the American people how the Democratic Party starting with Jimmy Carter and then massively expanded under Bill Clinton "Community Reinvestment Act" that forced the banks through acorn and government policy to make the risky loans in the first place.
