The democratic majority congress actually has no power. While they have a majority they do not have enough to meet the 2/3 veto power. Thus, if the democrats want to do something which the GOP doesn’t like, all president bush has to do is veto it. So, in reality the dems have no power at all because if the GOP doesn’t like something, then bush will veto it. So why does everyone blame the current congress for the bailout when Bush could have vetoed it. If the democrats are socialist for the bailout, then aren’t the republicans for not vetoing it?
You’re exactly right. It was the first 6 years of Bush and his Republican congress combined with the not enough democratic senate seats in the last 2 years that made this economy. This mess could not have been created in 2 years. That’s just when the symptoms got much worse.
