All you need do is run a search on the internet (What Caused The 2008 Financial Crises) Nowhere did I find any mention of Nixon or Reagan. For the most part it was SUB-PRIME LENDING. And Dubya threw up red flags way more than once only to have good ole Barney Frank assure everyone that all was well with Fannie and Freddie. Yeah, right.
And BTW, I'm NOT a Republican!!! Just believe in giving credit where credit is due. So, if you can supply me with some reliable links that can back up your claims, bring em on. I'll be happy to supply you with ones to back up mine. But get ready to do some heavy reading cause there's a lot of them.

I've yet to see any. As for deregulation, here's a link for ya :
Believe you are not a Republican, you sound more like a Conservative cut right out of the Limbaugh mold. As such they deny the REAL US HISTORY of the last 30 yearws I presented and prefer the PT induced rants they hear daily from their supreme blowhard and hero Limbaugh!!!
REAL FACTS REMAIN, Republicans invented Globalism that is gutting America!
Reps always fully supported ALL DEREGULATION started during the Reagan years and is the main culprit causing our fiscal mess, that you now feebly attempt to blame Dems for!!!
BTW Dubya never threw up red flags!!!
If anything he paved the way claiming more banking DEREGULATION was needed so these banking crooks on Wall St could sell and make even more shady trades/deals!!! Originally Posted by Celso

The repeal of the glass steagall act was a major factor, and you're right it did happen under clinton. BUT, the repeal of the act didn't force investment institutions to create financial instruments so complex that no one knew who owned and was owed what. That was done by "honest businessmen". Bush never tried to correct the problem and was probably unaware there was a problem.

Really comes down to, I don't like seeing rights taken, and the erosion of the middle class. Obama is in the closet communist. The economy is not better for the middle class. It is better for welfare reciepients and the elite. The socialist dream. Lenin would be proud of obama.
It does not matter I type, I am right. LOL Originally Posted by lostforkate

Who signed NAFTA? Originally Posted by GPThe first Bush signed nafta.
NAFTA was signed by President George H.W. Bush, Mexican President Salinas, and Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney in 1992.Another source says
Following diplomatic negotiations dating back to 1986 among the three nations, the leaders met in San Antonio, Texas, on December 17, 1992, to sign NAFTA. U.S. President George H. W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Mexican President Carlos Salinas, each responsible for spearheading and promoting the agreement, ceremonially signed it.
It was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on December 8, 1993So I guess blame can't be solely placed on republicans for that mess.
