@MontereyJack,
Quote:It certainly did have to do with Bush cutting regulation funds for our financial agencies, and neglect of enforcing regulations.
That was not done by Bush, it was done by Bill Clinton, that is when the banking rules were changed. Bush had nothing to do with the housing market crash that ruin the economy. It was the Dem's who thought "everyone" should be able to buy a home, when clearly not everyone can afford to buy a home. People didn't watch what was happening the their adjustable mortgage rates before it was to late and their payments jumped.
If you want to better idea of what happened, you should watch the movie The Big Short. Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt, Christian Bale and many other Hollywood elites.

A return to democratic norms? What norms would those be, the popular vote of the President? That was never a democratic norm, the norm is the EC.
