I bet those who have been predicting that this crisis would happen for years were stopping themselves from jumping up and saying, “Sneak up on us silently? You idiot! We’ve been predicting this for years. Anyone with half a brain knew this was coming, so it’s not surprising that you thought it snuck up on us.”She is the absolutely worse Speaker of the House we have ever had (and that’s saying something). She is the reason the market lost over 700 points today. The Democrats have enough votes in the House to pass the thing on their own but she isn’t a good enough speaker to guarantee her own people and then failing to bring her own people on board she loses Republican support because she decided to lie and say that this was the fault of Bush and the Republicans when we all know that it’s the Democrats who refused to do anything when the Republicans were pushing for reform and regulations.(via)
