One last point ... Bush did not cause the credit crisis or did free enterprise. It was government that caused the credit crisis through mandates on banks to issue more loans to those that should not have had loans ... they fined those that did not issue enough. Did business exploit the government mandates started under Carter and expanded under Clinton .... yes. But when many republicans started to see the problem developing, they could not get cooperation of democrats to prevent it from getting out of control. Instead, the dems beat up on the republicans for even suggesting we restrict loans and have higher approval levels since it would "hurt" those that needed those loans.

I wonder if it would have hurt more not to have gotten the loan or when their house got foreclosed and they were put on the street.
