@AzBirdDog No I'm not Black. That's so sad, apparently all you have left, I suggest taking a nap, or just pull the burning cross out of your asshole.

[Derekrife1]

@AzBirdDog The clinton did not "force" banks to take risky loans. They de-regulated the banks by passing the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act, a Republican bill as evidenced being named after three Republican congressmen. This did not contribute to the housing bubble though. The housing bubble was created by Bush by having interest rates lowered in the housing market so poor people could buy homes despite not being able to afford them.

You're so dumb. Had fun kicking your dumb ass.

@CommonSenseJoe When Im sick, I go and see a doctor. I trust his judgement and expertise in his chosen field. If I have a desire to own a home Im going to go see a morgage-lender. His advice, as an expert in his chosen field, will be relyed on. Mid-term elections traditionally have a low turnout. Obama is going to be re-elected and more likely than not... the Republicans are going to lose the HOUSE. You must understand that good, hard working people are tired of being fucked-over.

@CommonSenseJoe Banks are not intimidated by the Government. Trust me on this... I dont get why its such a bitter pill to swallow. Deregulation was/is the problem !! Poor uneducated people should be blamed? Not those that knew better but did it anyway because nobody was looking.The Government should have stepped in and said "NO". We are all ignorant outside of our chosen field of study. If Im a brick-layer then that is what i know. The bankers did what they did. there should be no excuses.

[Derekrife1]

@CommonSenseJoe Yes, and no. They did tell them to stop discriminating against minorities, but they didn't tell them to lower interest rates for them. You're making an argument which has a bit of racism in it, although I doubt it's intentional on your behalf. That said the interest rates were lowered during the Bush administration, specifically on June 17 2002 when bush announced this plan, and 2003 when Greenspan lowered interest rates to 1%.

[CommonSenseJoe]

@Derekrife1 You are wrong. The Clinton Justice department DID intimate banks into making loans to folks who could not pay them back. They were told that if they did not do more minority lending they would be SUED by the federal government. Even FREDDY and FANNY made sub-prime loans. You cannot blame the bubble on just Republicans. You have to blame THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT as whole for screwing with the free market.

@Derekrife1 Greenspan also used to be in favor of free banking. He abandoned his support for that as well as his Objectivist ideas long ago when he became chairman of the Fed. He is living proof that even the wisest of men can be corrupted by the levers of power. Regulations, like the ones I listed, created the moral hazard that caused the banking system to collapse.

[Derekrife1]

@mamadoenut Certainly, and I don't like the Democrats, everyone seems to think that. I don't like Obama, his regulations are total weak-sauce and don't accomplish anything significant, which is probably due to the influence of Tim Geithner who I despise. That said to blame him for the recession, bailout, or housing bubble as others have is simply ridiculous when he wasn't even in office then. That's my only contention I really have with AZbirddog, his convenient rewriting of history.

[longgonebomb]

It's electing the same type of politician over and over and expecting the same result. The government is out for only the government. Take back the power people or loose it forever.

[Derekrife1]

@ACDC7369 I actually agree with you, and I'm not a fan of Clinton or the Democrats, mostly because they side with republican ideas. The Fed is a tool which can regulate, I aree but the federal reserve is beholden to the President since he/she appoints the Chairman. The previous chairman was Alan Greenspan, a known associate of Ayn Rand, deeply influenced by her philosophy of Objectivism. To argue that we were Regulated into this recession doesn't hold water.

[longgonebomb]

The position this once great Nation is in today is not because of one event conditioned by one particular party. It is a combination of irresponsible, selfish, greed perpetuated by a few "PEOPLE" placed in powerful positions, governing over a unaware, uncaring citizenry. These chain of events have conditioned a "perfect storm" and now all hell is about to break loose. The definition of insanity is not doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
