In 2008, GOP policies had tanked the economy, but there was a strong segment of the GOP who were willing to let the entire economy burn in the name of the "free market." Wall Street, knowing that the democrats, despite some distate for them, are not willing to let the world burn, and millions suffer, so their asses would be saved. Asses having been saved, they did not like the busy body Democrats meddling in their affairs with stuff like Dodd-Frank. It's time to get back to de-regulation and pillaging the economy!
