2 years of Democratic majority in the House and razor thin majority in the Senate aren't going to fix a step by step dismantling of the New Deal over the past 28. This crisis is a result of deregulation to the point that corporations were making up the rules as they went along. This was a greed driven departure from the fundamentals of a proper economy. The Republicans thought that an entire economy could be made without producing anything tangible. Wealth was built on speculation and crooked accounting. A house of cards that was bound to fall. I think some Democrats were complicit in this fiasco, but the masterminds behind it were definitely Republican.
