"The Democrats can be blamed for setting the economy on a bubble-driven path in the 1990s, but the Republicans cannot escape blame for continuing this path and allowing an even larger and more dangerous bubble to develop in the first decade of the 21st century," said Dean Baker, an economist with the liberal Center for Economic and Policy Research.

Well, damned well. A Koch brother appears in the wild.

edit: I should remind our DT that the Koch bros have added added around $900M to GOP coffers since 2016. That party is owned by some major players that I doubt has your best interest at heart, unless, you know, you’re an Ayn Randian.

DT tends to confuse opinion with fact.

That is not true! You know perfectly well that I always have sources. The 90s Democrats did contribute to the 2008 crisis.
