The Financial Crisis Blame Game

[Crabtownboy]

After a year of epic financial crisis, 2009 will — if all goes well — be a time for digging ourselves out of the mess and figuring out how to prevent a repeat. Before we can do that, we have to have some idea of what went wrong. People are still arguing about what caused the Depression of the 1930s, so don't expect a definitive diagnosis anytime soon. But here's my current list of blame, or at least the first dozen items on it, in descending order of culpability.

Interesting run down of 12 people/reasons, including you and me, for the financial meltdown.

Only a leftist would include Bush, and leave out Barney Frank.

The poll is ridiculous. Blaming myself over Frank & Dodd.

I'm not sure why I called that a poll. My mistake.

If you looked at the entire article, you would see that it blames Clinton as much as Bush. It looks pretty accurate to me.

Not my fault. I've been living free and clear and below by income for 40 years.

I did read it.
Zero mention of Frank ? It's more his fault than anyone's.
