I remember when Democrats demanded everyone have the right to own a home that lead to that economic disaster.

some how Wallstreet was blamed for it...

This is the truth of the housing crisis and proof that propaganda works. The Government set the stage for the housing crisis. Wall Street just continued to do the same thing they were doing, and the in the end took all the blame.

Nobody wants to talk about how the government forced fannie mae and freddie mac to be stuffed with up to 50% sub prime mortgages, all on the name of "equity". Yeah, the pushed minority housing initiative fricked up the world economy. But every NPC in the country just thinks it's because of the evil corporations.

What blows my mind is that about 10 years later, we are back in the same boat. The US government playing russian roulette with the economy in the name of "social equality" . What a load of horse shite.
