What about Reagan? I think he started it. So many people voted for him. What a tragedy. bravenak Oct 2015 #6

Then HW, Bill, and then Dubya. JRLeft Oct 2015 #8

Sure. Bill was far better than the rest. But Reagan. That man started the conservative revolution! bravenak Oct 2015 #13

His deregulation was a major factor in the economic collapse of 07-08. JRLeft Oct 2015 #17

Whose? Clinton's? I am not convinced. bravenak Oct 2015 #20

Clinton's banking deregulation was a major contributor to the collapse. JRLeft Oct 2015 #22

Not convinced. bravenak Oct 2015 #23

The banking deregulation under Bill Clinton had nothing to do with the collapse, dude please. JRLeft Oct 2015 #24

He could not predict 08 nearly a decade before. bravenak Oct 2015 #36

Because the greediest people on the planet regularly turn down jeff47 Oct 2015 #38

Because it was unprecedented. bravenak Oct 2015 #40

Only the scale was unprecedented. The "crimes" had happened before. jeff47 Oct 2015 #45

Hindsight is 20/20 bravenak Oct 2015 #46

So you're arguing Bill Clinton is a moron who couldn't forsee jeff47 Oct 2015 #48

Am saying he is not prescient. bravenak Oct 2015 #49

Why would that be required? Why couldn't he read the history jeff47 Oct 2015 #53

He didn't have to be prescient. Plenty of people at the time predicted exactly what would happen. merrily Oct 2015 #92

I saw it coming, just an average person but, when they started rgeting the poorest home owners Hiraeth Oct 2015 #116
