which misses the point, because ALL OF IT....EVERY BIT OF IT...was PUSHED by Democrats....and then Trump gave Democrats a FREE PASS. Please try and justify that. Please. This is a challenge, direct to you, to answer THIS.
I do not agree every bit of it was pushed by the Democrats. But CERTAINLY the Democrats were at least as responsible, if not principally so. It was 40 years in the making.
That said, the last 6-8 years of the bubble were on the watch of the Bush admin with a Republican House and a Republican Senate for the first 6 years.
The Comptroller of the Currency, Treasury, every Fed Bank President and the Fed Chairman were first nominated by Bush and then confirmed by the Republican Senate.
To believe these guys didn't know what was happening and didn't have the power to stop it is ludicrous.
