Reply #3: Yes - the meme is that it is Dodd's (Banking commitee chair) and Barney [View All]

Franks (House financial service committee chair) fault.

The dems won the majority in congress and the senate in November 2006. These men assumed their chairs in January 2007, inheriting 12 years of republican slash and burn policies and injustice. In those 12 years the republican virtually excluded democrats from any policy making on their committees.

Now they want people to forget that the republicans had power for over 12 years and shaped and formed the current economic policy so that they can shift the blame for everything onto the current leadership.
