Fannie Mae collapsed shortly after democrats took control of congress during Bush's 2nd term. Barney Frank became chairperson of the banking committee with responsibility for Fannie and he told America that Fannie was fine and solvent. Fannie collapsed under Frank's leadership or lack of it and nobody in the mainstream media ever asked him what the hell he was doing. Today democrats are back in the majority in congress and instead of doing their jobs regarding the budget and the border they sit back and try to undermine the administration. They would have gotten away with it under a weak president like Bush but Trump is a strong willed president and they hate him for it.
Wrong.Urban areas are fucked up because they keep electing typical slimy 2-faced black politicians who line their pockets and run the city into the ground.
No matter how badly republicans fuck up, they cannot take responsibility.. The nation almost went in depression in 2008 after 6 years of total republican rule, but it had nothing to to with republican policy. No, it was the democrats fault. Major urban centers have been fucked up by republican policy over the last 25-30 years, but it's not republican federal policy or state controlled by republicans trying to create 37state trickle down economic zones. No, It's the "liberal democratic urban mayors."
Gov. Hogan’s decisions cause rift with Baltimore leaders
By Josh Hicks
July 12, 2015
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s decisions to kill an expensive light-rail project in Baltimore and reduce funding for schools have stirred tension with the city’s political leaders, who are questioning his commitment to addressing the struggling residents’ needs.
Hogan, a white, Republican businessman and first-time officeholder, campaigned last year in Baltimore as a common-man candidate who could deliver economic growth and job opportunities better than his rival, then-lieutenant governor Anthony G. Brown (D), who is black.
He won about 22 percent of the vote in the predominantly African American, strongly Democratic city, compared with 16 percent captured by former governor Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (R) in 2010, when he ran against incumbent Martin O’Malley (D).
Hogan was a visible presence in Baltimore after riots erupted there in late April following the death of Freddie Gray, who was seriously injured while in police custody. The governor spent more than 15 hours a day in the city at times, meeting with residents and community leaders during a state of emergency, and even shooting hoops with locals.
But Hogan risks losing ground in Baltimore because of two actions that he says reflect his focus on fiscal restraint: his rejection last month of the Red Line light-rail project — even as he approved a similarly expensive project in the Washington suburbs — and his decision in May to withhold $68 million in aid for high-cost school districts, including $11 million for Baltimore.
“Although the governor has promised to support economic growth in Baltimore, he cancelled a project that would have expanded economic development, created thousands of jobs, increased access to thousands more, and offered residents better health care, child care, and educational opportunities,” Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake (D) said in a statement after the Red Line announcement.

So what you are saying is Oprah is not getting her fair share?Wrong. We have the greatest inequality and worst upward Mobility ever and in the modern world by far, all to save the rich from paying their fair share. They pay the same as you do now that is a disgrace super dupe.There was always a big income gap-we just have more rich people now.Loopholes that don't exist anymore after 35 years of GOP give away to the rich and screwing everyone else, super duper. But I'm sure that has nothing to do with the worst upward mobility and inequality ever and in the modern world by far. People just got lazy right? You people are unbelievableI used to be poor then I got rich, all because I used my God given skills to excel, shame liberals are too stupid to learn what it takes to be rich...Yep, I used every liberal loophole the government afforded me..What democratic failure was that? None that I know of. Republicans you name it. 911 through sheer incompetence, the stupidest Wars ever and a corrupt economic meltdown under the George W bush, Ronald Reagan and his pal Saddam and the s&l Scandal bubble recession, all the while a giant giveaway to the rich and a screw job for everyone else. Only the GOP propaganda machine and brainwashed dupes make this possible. Poor America.Neither party EVER wants to accept blame for failure.
I am saying she does not pay enough and she agrees. You are brainwashed by greedy idiots....So what you are saying is Oprah is not getting her fair share?Wrong.

Your link is from 2015, and apparently Hogan was reelected in 2018, so this post is a double fail.

Yeah, but he definitely thinks he's right. One words answers aren't going to change his mind. He might even have sketchy links to winger sites to support his point. Then, it's back to square one. Never forget that corruption doesn't have a skin color. That to me is the real problem.
How does making "rich" people pay more taxes improve pay for the "non-rich"?Wrong.

Nobody likes to look back at the cause of a lot of the bullshit. They can't imagine the generational affects those past policies have had. They would rather make blanket, baseless, unreasonable, yet highly-inflammatory statements than look at the real causes.Wrong.Urban areas are fucked up because they keep electing typical slimy 2-faced black politicians who line their pockets and run the city into the ground.

Impuretrash is ignorant, I agree.
Corruption doesn't have a skin color but most of these guys blame blacks for things created by corrupt policies that were implemented by whites. For example, if Baltimore and the federal government had not implemented racist housing policy for the last century, we would not be having this discussion. That is ignored to blame 1-2 blacks for doing what whites had been long doing.

Spending is detached from taxation policy. Increasing taxes on the "rich" does not affect income disparity.
What you really want is for government to forcibly take money from some and give it to others.
When you try to frame it as something other than what it really is, many of us start to see it as deception.
Being honest about it opens the door for a real discussion.

To be fair, 2008 was not any party's fault. That was irresponsible lending practices by big banks, who then raided the treasury because they were "too big to fail" but they got to foreclose and keep most of the "toxic" assets ON TOP of the bailout money. Everyone should be pissed about that.
Otherwise, I am not sure what policies have been making urban areas "all fucked up." They probably just go with the territory. Urban areas will have really "rich" areas and really "shitty" areas. It usually doesn't matter who gets elected. The shitty areas get less attention.
