heric "not Bushs fault"

Yes and NO, he was selected and pushed into office at all costs all the way to the SUpreme COurt because he would support deregulation which is the key to the treasury for the wealthy.

The govermnment official in charge of overseeing Freddie and Fannie made an emergency appointment with the White House regarding needed regulation this summer and he remarked

"the only response I got from the White House was a one finger salute"

Business since the 1930's have a popular phrase "Competant government workers is the worst possible person"

heric I vow what I tell you is true, the trillions of dollars of loss was all intentional. Afterall the $ goes somewhere before the promised $ dissappears.

What was not intentional was triggering a worldwide collapse.

You see the US unlike the 1920's has very little manufacturing base to get up and running to support the people. Even our farms are corporate giants that can throw up their arms and walk away.

so yes and no, it was not W's fault although if he were more than a figurehead for deregulation and the policies of the Rand Corporation and Hertiage and 6 more think tanks that work only to make laws for the wealthy "captains of industry".
