You mean the ones that were running the government the eight years before the economy collapsed?

Let 'em quit, it's a free world, kind of.

The good news is that Helicopter Ben is taking a lot of flack. Bernie Sanders is even gunning for him.

That was mostly Phil Gramm and his "Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999". That's the legislation that rolled back most of the protections we had put in place after the Great Depression.

'Course, a lotta Dems voted for the turkey and "The Big Dog" signed it so there's enough blame to go around.

Yes. It is Bush's fault. And Reagan's. Mainly Reagan's. But since he was dead when it all fell apart, we'll have to pin it on his minion. While I am joking, I really do believe the deregulation and "unfettered capitalism" of the right did indeed cause the melt down. It's kinda silly to blame it on Obama when things are only getting better, all be it marginally so, under his brief watch.

Barney Frank? You think it's Barney's fault?

I didn't die, but my hard drive did. I don't do a good job of maintaining good habits, like regular back-ups. Hello data recovery services.

Plus side is a brand new Windows 7 speed demon from Dell.

And besides, I was asking an honest question. It is generally the executive branch that runs the regulatory agencies, so when Hatchetjack mentioned the bozos that let the banking crisis happen, one had to wonder to which bozos he was referring.

Yeah, but regulatory agencies need - you know, regulations.
