Danny,

Your 42 reasons Trump is a conservative are all positions he has only recently switched to. Hell you date a few back to when he was just a young man, in 2011! These are his positions TODAY. He also gave Obama a pass and blamed Bush for the recession. You know, the recession caused by the junk loans Fannie Mae forced on the banking industry by buying all their bad debt and then bundling it and selling American realestate investments abroad? That predates Bush. Bush tried to stop it. Trump was wrong. And THAT’s when he switched from a Democrat to a Republican? Really? Not suspicious at all, huh?

You're wrong about the recession. Mortgages are a symptom of the economy not a cause. When people had jobs they qualified for the mortgages. Once people lost jobs, they could no longer pay for the mortgages. Every business down turn looks like a real estate bubble in hindsight.

The recession was caused by

  1. 1) lowering the import tariffs back in the 60's, which caused a progressive weakening of the economy.
  2. 2) An oil price spike starting in 2007, the likes of which we hadn't seen since the 1970's. And the failure of both parties to take any action to mitigate that possibility.
  3. 3) The repeal of Glass-Steagall which kept banks from engaging in risky behaviors, which was a biartison legislation.
  4. 4) Repeated attempts to bolster the economy prior to the crisis which had exhausted the Fed's room to respond to a liquidity crisis. For example the bank reserve ratio was already at an effective rate of 1%, down from the 15 to 20% in the 1970's.
  5. 5) Bush's speech asking for crisis intervention which killed consumer confidence.
