"The record clearly shows that this was caused primarily by Democrats."

MM, can you list some facts (what did Barney Frank do wrong? or was Chris Todd's mortgage illegal or what are exact details that lead to deregulation or did Clinton push for mortgages to folks who could not afford them, etc) to support your statement above? Was this a Democrat-fed/led problem? I tend to believe the statement but I cannot defend it with facts, AND I am willing to point figures at Republicans, Democrats, Wall Street, Main Street, etc.

We have had hard times before; we have come out of them. We are, however, in a new period of "White Collar Welfare", of Democratic spending on top of Republican spending (and a loss of everyone's principles), of a debt that I cannot comprehend, a debt fed by Republicans and Democrats alike.
