In 2008 there was an economic crisis in which the housing bubble burst, leading to the recession. President Bush gets the blame for this from the left on this forum. They point to Bush to say that republican principles such as trickle down ecomics do not work.
It is true that Bush and the republicans did little if anything to prevent the crisis in 2008. But where were the democrats? Where was the Paul Revere on the democrat side trying to warn everyone of the impending crisis? What legislation did the democrates propose that would have prevented the crises? The democrats took control of congress in 2006. Did they see this crisis coming? Maybe they did, but I don't remember anyone in power warning of the problem until it was too late.
The blame Bush crowd want to ignore the good economic times throughout most of Bush's two terms. We had a short recession after 9-11 but the policies that the left keep saying did not work, did work.
I want to know what bills/policies were being perposed by the democrat controlled congress that would had prevented the economic crisis in 2008? What did senator Oboma do other than vote "present" and run for president that would have prevented the housing bubble from bursting?
