re: Measures to help economy
Some things to think about:
What are the connections between the Bush tax cuts and the housing bubble?
What did the economy do after the tax cuts until the housing bubble burst?
If all Bush ever did in the economy was cut taxes, where does that leave attempts to blame everything that happens in the economy on him?
Who pushed for more regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Who pushed back?
Who created idea of having the government guarantee or subsidize loans for unqualified and/or low-income people? Who in Washington profited by this concept?
