    No. It's "everyone's" fault.

    Glenn-

    The new mantra is that despite GOP control of the House since '94; the Senate for nearly all of that time and 8 years of George W. Bush- and in spite of GOP Big Daddy Alan Greenspan running The Fed like a drunken sailor and the de-regulation philosophy of SEC Chairman Chris Cox; and the evidence supplied by practically every actuarial and real estate analysis that the Housing Bubble began in about March of 2005 - this is EVERYONE's fault.

    So, I think you, the leftist bloggers, poor folks, Barney Frank/Chris Dodd and minorities should get the same amount of blame as those people cited above.
