Except it was the homeowner that did not want to deal with or pay for having it repaired.

In what way, shape or form has the homeowner not paid for this? Millions of lost homes, wrecked credit, wrecked economy, the rise of Too Big To Fail, Obama. Shall I go on?

The community reinvestment act didn't amount to much until the Clinton years when a number of regulatory and tax changes started pumping the air into the bubble. Executive compensation based on stock prices, loosening the SEC rules so that Wall Street could come up with creative ways to feed the fire the GSE's were building.

Bush came in and in April of '01 warned of the coming train wreck. There was no problem then, only a coming one he, and many others, correctly identified.

Then, they let it go.

The GOP serves no purpose if it warns of problems be it Social Security, The Great Society, GSE's, all of that and then, upon earning a chance to fix things, makes things worse instead.

Like I said, the homeowner (voters, campaign contributers) didn't care or didn't want to pay the price and only cared about having Jesus in schools, saying abortion was bad, gays are bad etc. Running a good business (paying bills, keeping deficit in check, etc) isn't something anyone cares about until it directly has an adverse and substantial effect on them.

No matter how hard I argue it was.
Pehaps if the homeowner learned how to fix it themselves rather than depend on someone else to do it...
