Evidence please. I can find abundant evidence of an economic train wreck created significantly by poor government policy (magnitude + quantity, local and national), especially in housing/mortgage that started the debacle off. I can find abundant evidence where cries for regulatory changes (better, not necesarily more) went unheeded to disasterous effect. I can see evidence where both of the above created a veritable cornucopia of poor business practices - some immoral, some illegal and some disasterously dumb. I can see where all of the above, combined with horrendous failures by ratings agencies pushed us over the edge.

“The American economy is too fragile to further damage it with the wrong health care reform. We cannot afford two big economic mistakes in one year. Let’s, instead, get the incentives right and accomplish the worthy goals laid out by our president.”

46m people with no insurance and you are worried about the economic train wreck caused by 8 years of Republican Lafler curve stock portfolios. Where were you 8 years ago?
