The democrats never seem to learn from their own mistakes... Jesus christ how many financial crisis' do we need to have before they figure it out!
@freemo Just wondering, would the republicans figure it out though?
@trinsec The republicans dont really "figure" much out.. but I will give them this, they dont tend to crash whole economies at aleast. Every major depression in my life time has been the direct cause of democrats from the mortgage crisis to the .com bubble burst.
@freemo Kind of depends on how you look at it. The current economic malaise is usually the result of a decision made years before. So if the Democrats are now in charge, and the economy seems to crash, who is to say it's not because of what the Republicans decided a few years ago?
Mind you, I don't know the exact details, but I just had to thought of that because that often gets overlooked.
@trinsec because we can directly see the even that leads to it... Mortgage crisis for example, it was very specifically the result of that democrat sponsored law that allowed low income high-risk families get mortgages they dont qualify for. Then the result of that is everyone who got mortgages they couldnt afford lost their home and the foreclosures tanked the economy.
the democrats always try to use that excuse though, but when you can tie the triggering even back to democrat decisions its a weak excuse.
