It is the same BS with college loans now.
That the federal government fostered home ownership is a fact, but don't buy the political spin that the LEFT was the only side of the political spectrum that promoted that policy.

Absolutely not. Both sides completely fucked us with this. You had the Clinton administration and then the torch was carried by Bush. Both of them had pretty much the same policies in regards to this. My only point is that I find it annoying how Bernie talks about how the banks caused the financial crisis when it was the governments policies (both Left and Right) that allowed these scumbags to operate so freely. If we had common sense standards in regard to home loans (like maybe you need a fucking down payment and a job) we would have never been in that mess.

I just dont like how Sanders is now trying to play the hero when he is career politician that did nothing to stop the crisis.
