You can't have it both ways.
Look at how Slick Willie , Bush , Obama and Trump are/were treated.

We really need to move past this broken belief that the recession was caused by just 1 group. Everyone wants to blame someone particular, but no one seems to want to accept that there is ample blame to share at every single level of our economy. And if we keep trying to pick 1 group to scapegoat for the entire debacle, we’re just going to ensure that it happens again.

Pretty simple. Their ideas will hurt America. His ideas will help it.
Id call that a blessing

It started in the 1930's, by the US Government, getting involved in the home loan business. It continued on and was amplified in the 1990's where the real problems started.
Government was the nexus of the entire thing. I'm not saying banks are absolved from this. But without the governments intervention and deregulation, 2008 would never have happened. That is a fact.
Now banks are guilty of taking the carrot the government dangled in front of them, but to say the largest portion of the blame pie did not belong to our government, is foolish.
And yes, even the idiots who thought on a $50k/year salary could afford a 500,000 home are to blame. But again, they wouldnt' have gotten those loans if fedgov didn't mandate lenders to give out those loans.

True, the recession would not have happened without the deregulation. The recession also would not have happened if Fannie and Freddie weren’t giving away top ratings on shite assets to make a buck. The recession also wouldn’t have happened if bankers understood the math behind the credit default swaps they pumped out like an oil well. The recession also wouldn’t have happened if the fed fulfilled their primary function of providing oversight on the country’s banking system. And the recession also wouldn’t have happened if individuals didn’t chose to borrow money that they knew with absolute certainty they would be unable to repay.
I don’t want to downplay just how badly the gov screwed the pooch during and leading up to this crisis, because they absolutely did. But saying they are the source of all of our ills downplays the major roles of the other players when we should be equally admonishing the breakdown of accountability and ethics that prevailed across the entirety of our economy.

Well, that's because, like you, THESE minority women are so spectacularly STUPID, racist and anti-American that they RIGHTFULLY get called-out....
Also, they are Affirmative Action hires, just like you....

As for the real Americans, President Donald John Trump is our "revolution". He is a return to our America-first mindset in which our country was made the greatest nation on Earth.
He's egotistical and pompous and brash and abrasive, and none of that equals shite, because he gets the job done in spite of social media, the MSM and 90% of the establishment government being either openly or esoterically against him.

Oh i'm not giving the banks or idiot home buyers a pass. I just think the Government is more culpable than the other parties involved, since they started the entire mess and got the ball rolling. Private banks/individuals don't have the power to deregulate the market. Only Fed Gov does. Yes they all share blame, and i agree 100%, my point, is that fedgov gets the lion's share of the blame on the mortgage crisis.
In other words, i agree with you.

You don't have the list of whom he spoke with, either. So I could say Sebourne Kline and you don't know if I'm right or not.
