    They certainly were.

    It certainly was. The greed of power by Democrats

    The economy doesn't need protection from bankers.

    Nope. The Federal Reserve fueled the speculation boom that resulted in the 2008 crash, just like many of the crashes before it.
    It's going to happen again too. The Federal Reserve (and the government) is trying to print it's way out the financial mess that it's in. A cash crash is sure to follow.
    You are so ignorant. The bankers, after getting the regulations removed through Gramms bill sold derivatives. https://www.thebalancemoney.com/what...crisis-3306176

    The Federal Reserve is a bank. Banks have sold derivatives long before the Gramms bill.

    For the first time since Jimmy Carter money market accounts are actually becoming a good investment! There are ones now that pay nearly 5% and that is rising. If you have spare cash you can make a safe and tidy profit off them right now. They are better than bonds or T-bills too because they are quasi-liquid meaning you aren't tied to a fixed period of investment.

    It is an indication of just how bad the economy is becoming...

    I could take the time to tell you how it happened, but you would cross your fingers and close your eyes. Teaching you is a waste of time. Gramm allowed personal savings to be used in banker gambling, It broke down the Glass Steagall regulations that protected us since the 1930s. After Gramm got it passed(it was late at night) some Dems said it was a terrible mistake and they hoped it would not go bad. It did.

    Your fiction is not how it happened.

    Exactly. That is why I said both sides are incorrect when they call Democratic programs socialist or when Democrats praise the social programs (Social Security) as socialist. That is why I said both sides have destroyed the meaning of the term when they use it.

    Social Security is socialism (communism). It was created by Democrats.
    The Federal Reserve is socialism (communism). It was created and converted into it's current form by Democrats.
    Medicare/Medicaid is socialism (communism). It was created by Democrats.
    The CPSC is socialism (fascism). It was created by Democrats.
    Theft of land and resale to others, as Jackson and Harry Reid did, is socialism (communism). Created by Democrats.
    The NEA is socialism (communism). It was created by Democrats.
    The DOE is socialism (fascism). it was created by Democrats.

    ALL of them are unconstitutional.

    Socialism is the forced taking of wealth for redistribution. It does not produce any wealth. It is theft. It exists in every nation, typically implemented by leftist parties (like the Democrats).

    Socialism comes in three major forms: communism (government ownership of markets), fascism (government manipulation of markets), and slavery (theft of labor).
    ALL three forms are supported by Democrats.

    Any more stupid statements you want to make?

    No, you made enough stupid statements for the both of us. And you proved my point by misunderstanding the concept of socialism. And, you confuse socialism and communism.
