I suggest that before you blame this all on the GOP you look at the
votes on the 2 major deregulation bills ... and the president that
signed them.

you mean the president the GOP impeached? yeah. looks like he had ALOT
of control over congress, right?

Bill Clinton was the cheerleader on the commodities deregulation bill
that allowed CDOs.

you mean the gramm bill? named after phil gramm, the REPUBLICAN who
authored it, on behalf of his enron VP wife?

that the bill you referring to?

I am sure you can find his signing statement on
youtube. It was in the 60 Minutes piece on this. He is smiling and
telling us how this is a great step forward. Trying to rewrite history
and saying he was opposed to deregulation is dishonest.

i never said he was opposed. i said he was powerless to oppose it. the
GOP impeached him. his power was, to say the least, marginal.

BTW if you are still hurt from the correction a couple years ago you
were not properly diversified. I only have one major holding that is
still a loser (EXP). My IBM stock is doing better than it was in 2006.
FLR is still a "double". CLNE is more like 4- 5x from 2006.

ROFLMAO!! me and 100M other americans. you right wingers really love
to hate the middle class, don't you?

So there are 100m Americans who made bad choices with their money

this reminds me of the east german communist party statement during
anti-communist rioting....'the party had lost faith in the people'

the right SCREWS the middle class like $2 whores THEN tells 100M hard
working americans it's their fault, otherwise it would be free market
capitalism that's at fault.

and god knows we CANT have that, right?

.. Why
is that supposed to surprise me? I bet you thought getting a 125% home
equity loan on a bubble priced house, to buy something stupid, was
sound business.

hey genius...a house aint a 401K

Anyone with their head a quarter inch out of their ass knew the house
prices in 2005-2006 was an anomaly. There were a few home builders who
understood this too. If you watched the insider trading and management
shuffling in CTX in 2005-6 you had a very good idea of where the
housing market was heading. Centex stopped building any houses that
were not sold as early as 1q06, There was also a bit of insider
selling. The CEO, CFO and director of construction took a buy out.That
was your warning (among other things) that the main engine in the
economy was running out of steam. If you weren't watching signs like
this, you had no business investing. Google up things I was saying
then and you can see, someone knew. If you are not willing to watch
what is driving the market, buy CDs and take your 2%.

this babbling about 'centex' has zip to do with anything. your
religious belief in the power and ethics of the rich is touching

too bad you just proved how much right winers hate the middle class.
