With plenty of help from "the left"

really? the left was part of the chicago school?

gee. that's gonna come as news to everyone.

neither was liberal

Nor was Clinton, Greenspan worked for him, what's your point?

and clinton's govt was run by a conservative congress which ran
rampant with chicago school philosophy

you DO know about the chicago school, right?

I basically agree with you but the same voodoo economics model that HW
Bush criticized in 1984 was the way they ALL did business since.
My only complaint is you keep saying this was just a right wing plot.

the left was never a big fan of the chicago school.
stiglitz..krugman..both nobel prize winners...didn't give it much
credence

Both sides embraced it for 25 years until the whole thing collapsed in
on itself.

yep. the free market fundamentalist theology grabbed both the middle
and the right which ran this country since reagan.

I have posted the vote several times here but the deregulation bill HR
5477 most responsible for this disaster was opposed by 51 conservative
republicans and 9 democrats.

and it was passed only after phil gramm threatened to filibuster it
after he added his 262 page deregulation of CDO's which caused the
meltdown.
