WHO in the fuck CARES?

That all matters as much as 2009's Democrat crash.

Trump is President NOW, and there ain't a damn thing you Drag-Queen-loving freaks on the left can do about it, short of trying 
another Butler, PA.

Trump still winning after WINNING Presidency!

Donald Trump is STILL the 47th U.S. president.

A Second Trump Administration is STILL going!

Care for a third?

LOL

Democrat Bahney Fwank's $10 Trillion Crash

That's right, shut-in.

Fwank's Fingerprints Are All Over The Financial Fiasco

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=boston.com+barney+frank+fingerprints&ia=web

************************************************

Key Democrats opposed the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, which would have established a single, 
independent regulatory body with jursdiction over Fannie and Freddie - a move that the Government Accountability Office had 
recommended in a 2004 report.

Barney Frank And Democrat Party Most Responsible For 2008 Economic Collapse

It's beyond asinine that Democrats blame Bush for ruining the economy, and praise Clinton as having the mostest wonderfulest 
economy ever, when it was a Clinton program that ruined the Bush economy.  But that's the mainstream media narrative for you.

************************************************

'THE PRIVATE SECTOR got us into this mess. The government has to get us out of it."

That's Barney Frank's story, and he's sticking to it. As the Massachusetts Democrat has explained it in recent days, the current 
financial crisis is the spawn of the free market run amok, with the political class guilty only of failing to rein the capitalists 
in.

The Wall Street meltdown was caused by "bad decisions that were made by people in the private sector," Frank said; the country is 
in dire straits today "thanks to a conservative philosophy that says the market knows best." And that philosophy goes "back to 
Ronald Reagan, when at his inauguration he said, 'Government is not the answer to our problems; government is the problem.' "

In fact, that isn't what Reagan said. His actual words were: "In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our 
problem; government is the problem." Were he president today, he would be saying much the same thing.

Because while the mortgage crisis convulsing Wall Street has its share of private-sector culprits -- many of whom have been 
learning lately just how pitiless the private sector's discipline can be -- they weren't the ones who "got us into this mess." 
Barney Frank's talking points notwithstanding, mortgage lenders didn't wake up one fine day deciding to junk long-held standards of 
creditworthiness in order to make ill-advised loans to unqualified borrowers. It would be closer to the truth to say they woke up 
to find the government twisting their arms and demanding that they do so - or else.

The roots of this crisis go back to the Carter administration. That was when government officials, egged on by left-wing activists, 
began accusing mortgage lenders of racism and "redlining" because urban blacks were being denied mortgages at a higher rate than 
suburban whites.

************************************************

Only people can who understand how politics and the economy work know this.

Whose Fault was It?

By far the most dangerous myth is that deregulation is the root cause of the problem.

The culprit was a system geared toward loaning money to people who were not in a position to pay it back. Two policies underpinned 
that system: easy money by the Federal Reserve and the government-induced lowering of standards for approving loan requests.

In a recent paper for the Independent Institute, University of Texas professor Stan Liebowitz argues that "in an attempt to 
increase homeownership... virtually every branch of the government undertook an attack on underwriting standards starting in the 
early 1990s... the Clinton era."

Starting with the creation of the Federal Housing Administration in 1934 and all the way to the norms that made Freddie Mac and 
Fannie Mae acquire substantial loans given to people with weak credit. 

Not surprisingly, once the Fed expanded credit, astronomical amounts of capital poured into a housing market that people assumed 
was protected by the government. What came next was a consequence of the original sin.

Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, H.U.D., Bahney Fwank, Bill Clinton, Andrew Cuomo.

Who is responsible for the crash?

Democrats' lobbyist-induced denial to regulate Housing, led to Wall Street collapse:

Barney Frank: I don't see anything in this report that raises safety and soundness problems.

"These two entities -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- are not facing any kind of financial crisis," said Representative Barney Frank 
of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee.

"The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of 
affordable housing."

************************************************

Anatomy of a bubble

Step 1. The intoxication: "My house is worth millions!" From 1995 - 
2005, the number of sub-prime mortgages skyrocket. So did the house 
prices.

Step 2. The hangover: "Oh my God, my house isn't selling. What went 
wrong?"

WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE TRY TO STOP IT?

Someone did:

********* "The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since 
the savings and loan crisis a decade ago." - The New York Times, September 11, 2003. *************** 

But someone intervened to stymie the Bush administration. Who? The New York Times reports:

Supporters of the companies said efforts to regulate the lenders tightly under those agencies might diminish their ability to 
finance loans for lower-income families. . . . "These two entities - Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - are not facing any kind of 
financial crisis," said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. 
"The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of 
affordable housing." 

"The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the 
savings and loan crisis a decade ago."

"Under the plan, disclosed at a Congressional hearing today, a new agency would be created within the Treasury Department to assume 
supervision of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored companies that are the two largest players in the mortgage 
lending industry."

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a 
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in 
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
