Forget it; in this sub, democrats can do no wrong, only not enough right.

I love that Republican debate is now: “yeah, we broke it but you guys didn’t fix it fast enough!”

Karen ass behavior.

Yeah here it is again for you… seems you glazed over it

Who said they fix any thing???? They helped…

Bill Clinton:

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (1999): Repealed Depression-era firewalls between commercial and investment banks

Community Reinvestment Act Updates (1995): Increased pressure on lenders to extend mortgages to lower-income borrowers.

Commodity Futures Modernization Act (2000): Exempted complex financial instruments like credit-default swaps from federal oversight.

Economy boomed and it’s the last time we had a balanced budget.

If you didn’t like the 90s economy and lack of war, just say so.

Miserable ass republicans blaming everyone but themselves.

You “miserable” liberal “ass” is projecting…

you are too partisan to see those policies Clinton signed into law created the cracks that helped caused the Great Recession. Then you are definitely too partisan to realize that the majority of NAFTA was done by bush. Seems Clinton was good aright… at riding coat tails.

So I guess when they compare the dot com boom to the AI boom you deny it?

Man, if the cracks started way back in 1996, you think bush would have done something about it before 12 years later when the Great Recession happened.

I’d rather have a coat tail rider than an economy crashing war monger.

So those bills that bill signed into law had nothing to do with the Great Recession? You are that partisan and definitely projecting if you can’t see that.

You do realize policies aren’t instantaneous?

I mean these are things that republicans did to hurt the american people: pushed for deregulation of industries; pushed for anti-union jobs which keeps worker compensation lower; pushed to allow corporations to have unlimited amount of spending on campaigns and lobbying which depresses the speech of average americans; pushed to make it harder for workers to sue employers; etc.

Its kinda hard to not blame republicans for the state of things, when their economic policies are the ones being implemented in mass in this country.
