Beav, we can argue all day who was the most responsible for the 2008 mortgage meltdown. The Fed had a big hand in it as they do with many economic events.
And yes, you seemed to be a bit excited by the prospect of a recession. I will make a prediction. You will blame Trump for the recession that inevitably comes after the longest expansion in U.S. history.
Wyatt, people like you have no problem blaming the "left" if they are in power be it in The USA, Canada or elsewhere round the world. We have a ballooning debt in the USA, but that is never mentioned as you guys will pin point that situation only if it applies to Provincial or Federal levels in Canada, and will blame it if a recession hits. But making some really insane statements that I am celebrating because an oncoming recession maybe looming is as usual expected from someone with your political affiliations.
An expansion that started under Obama after the brutal 2008 recession that he inherited will never be acknowledged by you. Even a couple of days after Trump took office the right wingers were praising him for the growth that kept on accelerating since. But you are expressing your opinions that you unintentionally disclosed, that if a recession occurred under the Democrats or The Liberals in Canada. You are desperately trying to label me in the same bracket!!
