Republicans want to blame the Democrats for this crisis, but who was in control of Congress since 1995, and was in control of all 3 branches of government from 2001-2006? For the moron above, the Dems have not been in control since 2006? They won control in the elections of Nov. 2006. They took control in Jan. 2007.

They have been in control of Congress for less than 2 years, yet Republicans want to blame for all of this on them, when they along with companies such as Enron wrote the legislation that led to the deregulation, which resulted in our current crisis. This has nothing to do with Fannie and Freddie, so stop trying to change the subject.

The roots for this crisis rest in the pro-deregulation Republican Congresses of 1995-2006. That is something that you all can look up and take to the bank, if you can still find one that hasn't collapsed.
