Austrian economics ftw!

RE: Austrian economics ftw!
Conservative myth about the housing bubble:

"We didn't want to give mortgages to all those scummy poor people who couldn't afford them but the liberals in the government made us do it."

Here's a myth-busting moment for you:

Bush in 2004 (Fast forward in the video to 3:24)





Quote: Another priority for a new term is to build an ownership society, because ownership brings security and dignity and independence.
...
Thanks to our policies, home ownership in America is at an all- time high.
(APPLAUSE)
Tonight we set a new goal: 7 million more affordable homes in the next 10 years, so more American families will be able to open the door and say, "Welcome to my home."

Today: Who us? Promote the housing bubble? No no no, that was the fault of the bleeding-heart liberals!
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."
...      -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept
"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
...       -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist
