The correct answer is NAFTA and the current credit/mortgage crisis. Both instituted by who? Democrats.

NAFTA made the 90's great, but we are paying for it now. Our economy was on the rise, the internet was fresh and brought economic change. With NAFTA having been instituted it allowed a massive amount of cheap goods to come into the country. Thus giving an economic boost. However, since then jobs have been leaving the states and heading overseas, where companies can make a product for 10% of the cost, or cheaper but sell it at the same price here.

The mortgage crisis was brought on by terrible lending practices forced upon by the Clinton administration. There are currently 5 million loans in default which are held by illegal immigrants. I have hard working friends who are married with a kid on the way and both have good jobs and they struggle to get a decent loan for a home. Yet somehow illegal immigrants can get them easily.

12 times since 2002 the Republicans have tried to pass legislation to investigate and reform Fannie and Freddie, but dems blocked it. 12 times, and yet we want to blame Bush. lol, Bush has alot of faults and I don't like him all that much, but to put the blame on him for this is beyond ridiculous. However, you libs struggle with looking at the facts.
