but requiring banks to giving loans to people who at most could not afford them was pure Democratic Socialistic BS
You're WRONG. Deregulation is from the school of Ronald Reagan so the rich could get richer and "trickle down" the wealth to the under classes. Instead the rich moved their corporations offshore to tax free havens and employed their labor at slave wages. Screw the under classes. The crooks wanted government out of business. They declared the goverments' regulation of business just screwed business up. Meanwhile, these same deregulation freaks want to regulate womens' bodies, who can marry, etc. etc.. Now they come, hat in hand, asking the dreaded GOVENMENT to bail them out, at their victims expense. "Democratic Socialistic BS", you say? Sounds like feudalism to me.
