3. Yes- this goes back way

Farther then to our 1st black president. Back to Reagan at least if not farther. The right has been at war with the legislation both Roosevelts passed when they were President so yes, much farther back.

However I do think President Obama speed it up a little. I firmly feel that a big reason why we are where we are is because President Obama wanted to “look forward, not backwards”.

A lot of the dubious people we are dealing with now saw a war started based on lies, saw human beings tortured by us, saw Wall Street vivisect the global economy and then saw not one person of significance held accountable by President Obama or Eric Holder. This told those people that if you make the crime big enough nothing will happen, it does not get much bigger then trying to overthrow the government. Personally I think being so incompetent and morally void that 1 million+ Americans died because of decisions made is bigger than a Coup but…

I will give credit where it is due. There was 1 broker they prosecuted from a small bank on the East Coast I believe. Holder went in front of congress and said out loud that the banks were “too big too fail” giving Wall Street the road map to get away with more.

Laws only work if they are enforced. If they are not enforced civilization will eventually break down as well.
