'Could Gore have done that badly?'
Donald Duck or Fidel Castro or Herbert Hoover couldn't have done as badly..
Funny when you look at the jobs created, unemployment rates, record budget deficits, stock market, dollar performance, record foreclosures,our standing in the world....it makes you wonder what planet those neocons/Palin groupies are on. Certainly Hannity's America must be in Mayberry up on Mars..lol Now they can blame the Republican Congress (which was there since 1994), Greenspan, Fannie/Freddie, liberal masterminds Barney Frank & Chuck Scheumer or the limosine liberals on Wall Street (that swing to the tune of fast green rather than red or blue) but that culture or way of thinking didn't change drastically in 2001 last I checked other than perhaps Greenspan getting a bit senile.. Obviously the presidency and the actions taken post the horrific attacks post 9/11 are what changed.
Total deregulation.hands off on the domestic economy, not vetoing one bill all allowed the repeal of Glass Stegal to foster a wild west anything goes attitude in the mortgage industry by 2003 far beyond what a divided govn't with checks and balances would have done.
'The repeal has produced an oligarchy of power and elite, in intertwined media, retail banking, investment banking, home mortgage sectors, via interwoven board of director memberships of the Federal Reserve, corporations and government administration, extending into the the White House, via secretary of the Treasury Paulson, former executive of Goldman Sachs.'
