Sigh... this is why you can never trust a Republican. Putting people who don't want government to work in charge of making government work has lead pretty directly to the financial disaster in which we find ourselves. The Democrats are no angels, but it was a Republican president and a Republican congress and a Republican chair of the Fed and a republican head of the SEC and a Republican head of the CFTC and on and on that fiddled for the last 8 years.



This post was down-modded so far I shouldn't even respond, but I'm going to anyway. While you seem to blame Republicans for every thing that ails you, keep in mind that the "loosened regulations" on mortgage lending which is what caused this problem in the first place were initiated by a Democrat, Barney Frank, at the urging of a Democrat, Bill Clinton. Now go put your head back in the sand.


Both of those posts are being downmodded because this is not the place to have a "democrats versus republicans" debate. Keep that stuff on reddit, thank you.


Fair enough. I apologize. No more political comments from me.


This is why I love HN. Don't ever change.
