Clearly, the horrific 2008 Financial Meltdown was due to the complete lack of controls over the US Financial System in the Bush/Cheney Admin. This massive error was almost totally fixed by the Obama Admin, but it took a lot of time to fix it.
Let's hope these wholesale lack of necessary US Government controls doesn't happen again in the Trump/Vance Admin, with its near-sighted focus going to be to dramatically cut nearly all US Government regulations.
Now let me focus on the 2024 US elections.
Especially since the Harris Campaign thoroughly trounced the Trump Campaign in money raised and still the Democratic candidates at all levels still got blown away in the 2024 Elections, there has to be a day of reckoning for the Democratic Party.
Given the just horrible execution in all respects of the Democratic Leadership during all of 2024, including the cover-up of the US President's seriously declining health and the complete failure to open up the Democratic US Presidential primary, I think every single person now in every Democratic Party leadership position should be relieved of their responsibilities.
And similarly, MSNBC should be held responsible too for its integral part in this US Presidential health deterioration coverup and also its clearly one-sided position on the reporting on the horrific War in Gaza where the world's position on whether Israel has committed many war crimes including humanitarian ones is overwhelmingly that they did.
