Another exaggeration, no one defended him to his death, the economy hasn't been as good since then. You guys always destroy the economy...wait it'll happen again...it's what you do.

Agreed, and much of Washington D.C.'s actions (past and current) are composed of what amounts to burlesque theater. That is, if you consider the definition of 'burlesque' as theater or show that amounts to ridiculousness by means of grotesque exaggeration or comic imitation.

Maybe the death of their consciences ? Think about it. Those on your side. You know the super pro women, anti male, anti Patriarhy, burn their bras neo feminists and feminists. What Bill Clinton did was exactly the crap they have condemned. Then they had to murder their principles and defend him because power trumps ethics.

As far as destroying the economy, just how, in detail, did the Republicans destroy the economy ? You said it, now explain it.

onservatives want you to believe that regulations on powerful banks are destroying the economy. It’s not the banks themselves— you know, the ones that destroyed the economy in the 2000s by fueling a housing bubble, making money hand over fist, getting bailed out with taxpayer money, and then fraudulently booting millions of homeowners out on the street.

On Thursday, House Republicans were passed the Financial CHOICE Act, a radical Wall Street deregulation bill that would undo many of the provisions passed in the wake of the Great Recession that increased scrutiny and placed modest limits on big banks to keep them from taking down the economy again.

Unable to call the legislation what it is—an unhinged reversion to the Wall Street Wild West—House Speaker Paul Ryan has the audacity to call it a jobs bill for Main Street.

Here’s a question: Where was he when an unregulated finance industry single-handedly brought down the American economy, taking nearly nine million private-sector jobs with it?

Ryan and the Republicans have consistently harped about Dodd-Frank supposedly making it harder for small-business owners to get loans. That’s simply not true. In fact, commercial and industrial loans were at an all-time high as of November.

The only way to fix the economy passed on by Obama, Republicans say, is with a heaping dose of good ole’ Wall Street deregulation.
But the only way that House Republicans’ deregulatory agenda can be sold is by insisting that Obama’s financial regulations have k**led job growth. The only way to fix the economy passed on by Obama, Republicans say, is with a heaping dose of good ole’ Wall Street deregulation.

This is classic trickle-down ideology: deregulation for the powerful and a more volatile and predatory marketplace for everyone else.

Here’s a quick rundown of what the bill would do:

First, it would remove the Dodd-Frank’s orderly liquidation authority, which allows regulators to more effectively ratchet down banks that are the verge of collapse. It would also take away bank regulators’ ability to deem certain financial institutions “systemically important,” a label that comes with more scrutiny and stricter regulations. In short, it will increase the risk of taxpayer-funded bailouts of Too-Big-to-Fail banks.

The CHOICE Act ends the Volcker rule, which prohibits banks from engaging in certain types of speculative investments with their depositors’ money. It would also jettison the Fiduciary Rule, which the Obama Department of Labor implemented to require that retirement advisers provide services in the best financial interest of their clients. Conflicted retirement advice costs retirement savers billions of dollars each year.

One of the central purposes of the bill is to gut the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the independent agency launched by now-Senator Elizabeth Warren to crack down on rampant predatory actions on Wall Street. Since its creation in 2011, the agency has recovered a reported $11.7 billion for more than 27 million consumers, going after predatory practices in the auto, student, home loan, banking, and credit card industries. The CHOICE bill would remove the bureau’s single director and create a partisan board of commissioners, take away its independent authority, and severely curtail the scope of its purview.

Congressman Jeb Hensarling, the chair of the Financial Services Committee and one of Wall Street’s favorite lawmakers, is the architect of the deregulatory bill. He’s long had it out for the CFPB, calling it a “rogue, unconstitutional” agency. “I want to protect consumers from the Orwellian-named Consumer Finance Protection Bureau—that’s the most important thing we want to do,” he told Bloomberg. (Over his career, Hensarling has received millions of dollars from the finance sector (more than $7.4 million) and companies that stand to lose from stronger consumer protections.)

This isn’t the Republican Party caring about small businesses and job creation. This is the Republican Party doing what it does best: pushing toxic agendas that appease its donors and inflict risk and injury on everybody else.

" this should do, much more if you wish.."

No, that is about 2017 not the meltdown in 2007-09.

You guys get to blame Bush because it blew up under his watch. Like 911 happened under his watch so Ipso facto Bush caused it. Whenever I ask you liberals to explain the housing meltdown the response I get shows me that you have no idea what you are talking about. The puppet masters told you it was Bush and the rich and the banksters, so you dutifully regurgitate what was injected into your brain.

George W. Bush (2001-2009)
George W. Bush faced many challenges during his administration. He responded to the 2001 recession with the EGTRRA tax rebate. He enacted the JGTRRA business tax cuts to jump start hiring in 2004. The combined Bush tax cuts added $1.35 trillion over a 10-year period to the debt.

Bush responded to the al-Qaida attack on September 11, 2001 with the War on Terror. He started the War in Afghanistan to eliminate the threat from al-Qaida's leader, Osama bin Laden. He created the Homeland Security Act to coordinate terrorism intelligence in 2002. He then launched the Iraq War in 2003. In total, Bush spent $850 billion on the two wars, while expanding funds for the Department of Defense and Homeland Security which cost $807.5 billion. To pay for two wars, military spending rose to record levels of $600-$800 billion a year.

Bush went against Republican policy with health care spending. The Medicare Part D prescription drug program added $550 billion to the debt. He did not try to control higher mandatory spending for Social Security and Medicare.

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. It caused $200 billion in damage and slowed growth to 1.5 percent in the fourth quarter. Bush added $33 billion to the FY 2006 budget to help with clean up.

Bush deregulated with the 2005 Bankruptcy Prevention Act. It protected businesses by not making it harder for people to default. Instead, it forced homeowners to take equity out of their homes to pay off debts. That sent mortgage defaults up 14 percent. It forced 200,000 families out of their homes each year after the bill was passed. Most of the debt was incurred by the cost of healthcare, the No.1 cause of bankruptcy. That aggravated the subprime mortgage crisis. In 2008, Bush sent out tax rebate checks.

Bush's response to the 2008 global financial crisis was business-friendly, but not allied with Republican policies. The federal government took over mortgage agencies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It brokered a deal to save Bear Sterns. It tried and failed to keep Lehman Brothers from collapse. Bush approved a $700 billion bailout package for banks to prevent the U.S. banking system from collapsing. The Republicans in Congress disagreed at first, but eventually went along with that massive government intervention.

Instead of reducing the debt, Bush more than doubled it. He added $5.849 trillion, the second-greatest amount of any president. That's more than the $5.8 trillion it was at the end of FY 2001, President Clinton's last budget.
