“They wanted to buy more votes by making it easier for high risk borrowers to get mortgages.”- Sure , we’ll go with that. Any different from absolutely blatant redistricting and voting rules to prevent Democrats from voting?
Folks don’t realize that regulations are written in the EXECUTIVE BRANCH, not Congress. Often those regulations actually violate the LAW they were supposed to enforce, I saw it many times during the “Reagan years”. Regulations are also modified over time to GIVE AWAY things to banks and corporations, and screw the “public pooch”, which is EXACTLY what happened under “W” and Cheney, in many departments, like MMS on oil drilling in the Gulf, and banking.
Teapublicans will not listen, and will never “get it”.
Wow, what a pathetic cartoon! If banks lent money responsibly and cut the salaries & bonuses of their executives, then they would have SO MUCH less to complain about.Banks led the Great Republican Recession, and they must help get America out of it.
^actually it could be much worse. the economy has bumped along not in a recession (though it sure feels like it). 3 consecutive quarters of GDP going down – nope haven’t had that.
haven’t had good growth either. hard to do when we ship our best jobs overseas to slave labor.
Don’t be so partisan. It really sets you up to have only half the picture. No mess this big was started by one bought group of politicians. There was the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act written by Republicans and signed by Clinton. But the truth is both parties are bought by multinational corporatist that don’t care about our economy, or freedoms, just short term profits. But they do a great job of distracting us with petty partisan rants for the weak minded to latch onto. Distractions like defense spending vs populist spending while both are done with billions and billions of dollars of waste. Waste that equals profits for the puppet masters. But I’m sure
Zit, the recovery did begin in 2010, but stalled when the Teapublicans took office in January. Since then, the economy has barely stayed even, and they are on the verge of tanking it again even w/out the help of your beloved Bush-Cheney.

Does this forclose the ‘Bank’? Is that Chippie Blok standing there after smashing the ‘Bank’ window?

If you continue using the “Bush-D” term, I’m going to ban you from posting. Knock it off.
