Democrats triggered the financial meltdown in the name of poor people owning homes. They made it so that anybody with a pulse could borrow a mountain of money for new homes or against the homes they already owned. Before the Democrats stepped in and used force to relax lending standards, those hedge funds were ALWAYS sound investments. But after lending a ton of money to anybody with a pulse, those hedge funds (take 1,000 mortgages and bundle them into one instrument) weren't worth the paper they were printed on. Investment bankers and others thought they were still good investments, like they had been for DECADES.
The irony is that Democrats, to this day, blame Republicans for the collapse, when it was 2-faced, lying idiots like Barney Frank who PUSHED to relax standards on real estate loans. They're like Bart Simpson, breaking a lamp and then blaming somebody else for it. "It was like that when I got here," he'd say.
This is how Democrats roll. They hurt EVERYbody in the name of helping some small group, and then blame everybody else for their ignorant and un-thought-out policies.
