"Savior" of the GOP Already Lying or Clueless

Word.

Now, here's where it gets really fun: guess who was the money/muscle behind the huge push to make sure that Wall St. was unregulated, allowing for such a catastrophe to occur?

And I'm also curious that, even in this unregulated Wild West of finance that existed, why both the mortgages lenders AND the TBTF banks who bought up those mortgages blatantly violated their OWN due diligence standards? Even though in both cases whistleblowers warned of dire consequences yet they were ignored or fired or both?

Tell us: what role did gov't play in that?

[exploited]

I'm not. Much like dogs, capitalists need to be trained, and given certain rules to obey. If you don't train your dog, his natural instinct is to piss everywhere, chew your shoes and generally engage in destructive behaviour.

When you see a dog like that, do you blame the dog, or the owner?

You guys are getting kinda rude to each other, aren't you? I mean, is this really that serious? We've already moved on from its inception and, hopefully, to someplace better.

This whole thing is Rubio trying to position himself for a run at POTUS in the near future. Like I said, it's all just political BS. He's sucking you into this crap and winning at it. We should be debating that.

Oh so we should change the subject. Right.

Rubio said that a major cause of the meltdown was "reckless gov't policies," which is an outright falsehood.

Lack of gov't policies or failure to enforce gov't policies =/= "reckless gov't policies." The people who were out-of-control reckless, who DEFINED reckless--those people were Wall St., and the mortgage company (and rating agency) accomplices, not the gov't.

This was another attempt at revisionist history to fit into his party's long-standing gov't-hating narrative, by incredibly claiming that we need to get the gov't OUT of things like regulating Wall St., when in fact it was that total lack of regulation that allowed something like this to happen.

And that was just the non-existent/failing defense side of it.

Using the clownish logic presented by people here, when Germany invaded Poland why Germany is not to be held accountable--it's Poland's fault for not repelling them!



All in an attempt to excuse Rubio for either being a) a grade-A liar or b) f***ing clueless or even c) both.

BTW enough of the "Everybody's doing it!" excuse that it's just "politics."
