Reply #31: I Think Bush and Republican Congress Had Something To Do With The Economy

[Median Democrat]

"While everything might not be black and white, one thing is obvious - it dumb, dumb, dumb, to put the idiots who destroyed our economy back in charge of that economy. That simply defies common sense, or any kind of sense for that matter."

Wounldn't you agree that you are painting with a very broad brush in blaming Summers for destroying the economy? What about Bush? What about the Republican congress?

I do recall that both Summers had been for reducing the budget deficit. Woundn't you agree that we would be in better shape if Obama had not inherited a trillion dollar deficit?

Also, don't you need regulators who actually are trying to enforce the laws on the books? Are you saying there is a magical law that would have made Chris Cox and effective SEC Chairman?

Again, I see a lot of ranting, but your explanation of why Summers is at fault, sounds like something I would read on Free Republic. No real analysis or facts. Just venting and rants.

The post that precedes yours in this subthread is on topic in criticizing Summers, rather than just offering generalities.
