This is exactly what I said. Loans were being extended to people who realistically shouldn't have qualified.

Now, why did that happen exactly?

Since we are apparently relying on Google, consider.

"The financial crisis was triggered by a complex interplay of policies that encouraged home ownership, providing easier access to loans for subprime borrowers, overvaluation of bundled subprime mortgages.....

I guess I don't see where this disagrees with what I said. As I wrote before, I think these policies were well-intended, but like many things just went too far and when coupled with the greed of certain wall street types, caused a massive meltdown.

Wait... now it's been a few years since I've taken high school Government class, but if congress creates a bill (or policies), the president veto's them, and congress overrides them, don't they still happen on the President's watch and he gets the blame?

And, again this was 20 years ago, wasn't most of Clinton's terms ruled by a super-majority of Republicans?



So... How about pointing blame on the correct people? And if Clinton and/or Democrats championed those bills, then by golly I apologize in advance, but let's stop playing by Trump's rules and actually FACT CHECK these things?!?


Also, instead of "Blame Clinton," "It's Dubya's Fault," and "Thanks, Obama," -ing everything, how about we rightfully blame the 535 other sh**-for-brains in Congress that spearhead this sh** that the Presidents get stuck with?

What do you base this on? From everything I've read, Reagan had severe deficits by his second midterm. In 1991 -- five years further on -- he may have been a vegetable.

He was still a public figure in the first couple of years shortly after he left office and just because there is a diagnosis of Alzheimers that does not mean someone becomes unable to function mentally. Cogent thoughts and reasonable communication don't stop immediately upon diagnosis. I think the evidence is fairly clear that the public revealing of the disease came well after he and his family knew he suffered from Alzheimer's and it's likely that the suspicions and evidence were there at some point while he was president. I too have read of severe deficits during his second term and even have read that some people feel he actually never recovered mentally from the assassination attempt in 1981. I have also read books that say he was still fairly robust mentally through his second term. Rover seems to think that in addition to being unable to have written the piece, Reagan never actually felt the way about common sense gun control the op-ed seems to indicate. The linked video shows a person who clearly was articulating he did believe in some common sense laws and a written piece 2 years later and some 13 years before he died could clearly have been by a person still able to function well enough to write what was a fairly simplistic opinion piece.

Actually the article was 3 years before Reagan announced publicly he had Alzheimer's and barely more than 2 after he was president. While opinions are mixed as to when the first signs of the disease were apparent in Reagan it's highly likely that in 1991 he was more than capable of writing the statements attributed to him the op-ed piece. You also might be surprised by his comments in 1989 when he spoke that so called "assault" rifles were not sporting guns or needed for home defense. He also refers to the CA waiting law but does not take credit for it.

There's a lot truth when people comment that this current crop of Republican voters -- who bring up Reagan's legacy at least as often as the do Lincoln's -- would find Reagan far too liberal.

St. Ronald of Cielo said, in 1989, that the 2nd Amendment is not unlimited. The horror!
