Jamaicans for Justice

Madeleine Bair reports from Jamaica:
The New York Times exposes the paucity of ideals and logic in the Republican platform. What's left is a cynical hodgepodge that aims to put the country -- with a few privileged exceptions, of course -- as deep in the ditch as it was by 2008...

Please provide evidence for what actually caused the financial crisis.

The policies that started this financial train wreck actually started under LBJ with his starting GSE's, Carter - Community Reinvestment Act, then Clinton expanded the Community Reinvestment Act, and those policies exploded under Bush.

And short-term memory Americans are set to put some of the people who got us in this mess back in office in November.

As to the first comment:

Why limit yourself to LBJ? Why not go all the way back to George Washington and his decision to allow Hamilton to start a central banking system? Some people believe THAT was the start of the demise of this country.

Teresa, I have an intense week of class that extends into the weekend. I will address your question on Monday or Tuesday.
