    Well, the 2008 crash was caused by the conservatives in office and Big Finance that they bailed out. That's a fact. It does not imply that liberals couldn't also cause a crash. Just points out who did.

    The GOP ruled the Senate, the House, The White House, and the Supreme Court. And you try to make it all about Barney Frank. :lol:

    That ain't the point, anyway. He had said that he feared that liberals were going to crash the economy. I simply pointed out that conservatives have actually crashed one.

    Wells fargo is NOT a bunch of liberals. It is a major financial corporation, the 4th biggest bank in America, quite conservative, and a recipient of 25 $Billion in bailout money from the last administration. They contribute to every single member of congress and most high state officials.

    Whoooa red! I didn't say liberals. It was free lending by banks along with lax oversite by congress along with the everyone deserves to own a home crew that did this. Everyone has blood on their hands on this one. Liberals and conservatives- republican and democrats. No one party but both partys are to blame. They both , for diffrent reasons, failed the taxpayer on this one.
