Wow. Disgusting. She is still defending Bill's repeal of Glass-Steagall and refusing to reinstate it Green Forest Jan 2016 #1

Easy. The PTB of the Democratic Party backed Obama in 2008 and are backing her now. merrily Jan 2016 #29

I think lots of people/entities share the blame for the housing crisis. Hoyt Jan 2016 #2

Blaming it on homeowners was a PR effort to shift blame from the brokers... Human101948 Jan 2016 #4

I agree, but the reason the loans were unsound/garbage was part of the problem. Hoyt Jan 2016 #5

Makes perfect sense in retrospect. burfman Jan 2016 #85

Thanks, Burfman. freedom fighter jh Jan 2016 #88

Your attempts to absolve Wall Street of blame for the crash is inexcusable. It is established fact they ChisolmTrailDem Jan 2016 #70
