The GLB act had a veto-proof majority in the Republican congress anyway. Clinton only signed it so he wouldn’t look like an obstructionist

nah Reaganomics took hold in the Clinton era. The bush presidency killed the economy because that was when Clintonomics kicked in. Bush’s tax cuts from 2001 are going to be what pulls us out of the depression. It just takes time people!

I dunno. I think you’re overestimating how quickly economic policy shows effect. At one point ecoshardcore had linked this recession to Jimmy Carter.

Yeah, the downturn in the market could just be backlash from Watergate.

Lincoln kept the South part of the US.  
GLB act was constructed mainly by Southern Republicans.  
The majority of the housing bust was in the South and Southwest.

While that whole article is weak, these sentences in the opening paragraphs belong in a High School AP composition paper…

> President Barack Obama knows Americans are unhappy that their taxes _will be used to rescue people who bought mansions beyond their means._

> Even officials in his administration, many supporters of the plan in Congress and the Federal Reserve chairman expect _some of that money will go to people who used lousy judgment._

lousy?

really?.. lousy?
