don't mean to interrupt your lovely dialogue..just want to address some points made earlier..
Clinton added massive provisions and expanded the CRA in the late 90s..without the Congress..
Clinton had 8 years to confront terror treats..9/11 was in the works way before Bush became pres..instead, Clinton made it difficult for the CIA and FBI to communicate..just the usual political correctness crap loved by the left..protecting the rights of the terrorists instead of worrying about innocent people's security..and Bush is guilty of it too to a lesser extent..
the 90s were great..because of the natural economic expansion, not because of the Clinton...and they were good despite of the Clinton..but once you ignore so many red flags there is always a price to pay later..
