    you mean lack of regulations? bush did not want the regulations....

    https://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/21/business/worldbusiness/21iht-admin.4.18853088.html

    "From his earliest days in office, Bush paired his belief that Americans do best when they own their own homes with his conviction that markets do best when left alone. Bush pushed hard to expand home ownership, especially among minority groups, an initiative that dovetailed with both his ambition to expand Republican appeal and the business interests of some of his biggest donors. But his housing policies and hands-off approach to regulation encouraged lax lending standards."

    "Bush Ties Policy to Record Home Ownership" March 26, 2004

    https://www.foxnews.com/story/bush-ties-policy-to-record-home-ownership

    "Late last year, Bush signed the American Dream Down Payment Act (search) to help families that can afford monthly mortgage payments but not the down payment or closing costs associated with buying a house. The legislation authorizes $200 million a year in down payment assistance to at least 40,000 low-income families."

    The Shuttle made little sense. Why did we have to launch what was basically a 747 into orbit every time we wanted to send any people up? If we had stuck to Space capsules like we eventually did anyway and launched as much tonnage as the Shuttle's involved up permanently we'd have the beginnings of a city up there by now

    How about, “it was set in motion by Roosevelt“. If you go back far enough, we can cover the incompetence of Reagan too....Mr super deficits and corruption.

    Trump pushes for nothing except kissing Putin’s butt. He has no concept of the economy. He only knows how to lie and scam.

    Oh pull your head out. The point is that
    because at the time the shuttle was the best tech we had there are still things you could do from the shuttle that you can't do from a capsule. For some projects size really does matter.

    This post has very little to do with the 2008 recession. It is just arm waving and ranting. However, staying inside the discussion, it's true Bush had a Republican congress, but it was Democrat Sen. Dodd who, under threat of a filibuster, would not let the Bush-McCain bill that would regulate the derivatives market out of committee in 2006.

    Ya been over this a 100 times. Its history now, try concerning yourself with the
    Flavor of the day "COVID, the end of days" and "Chiners, careless murderers or political visionaries".
