So what is going on now was all planned before. I don't want to hear "Bush is stupid he could not have planned it". A stupid man does not get to be
president of the USA, and if he does that means he is not really in charge.

Bush is not stupid but he, for sure, isn't a mastermind either. Intelligence was not the number one reason for him to get elected I can assure you.
Instead, it was about promises to lobbyists who paid for his campaign.
The reason he got elected twice are because of:
-the contacts the Bush family has
-the promises Bush & Co made to corporations and other lobbyists such as AIPAC
-A great campaign team
-Strong leadership after 911
Individuals at Freddie and Fannie greatly benefited from their profitable practices. Bush ensured they could do so.
I would not be surprised if lobbyist money played an important role in this issue.
Whatever it is, it's ironic that the greed of a few ruins the live of billions.
My dad will retire in five years. I, for one, seriously doubt he will ever see any retirement money, and even if he would see any, he'll most likely
not be able to buy anything from it due to hyperinflation (a collapsed economy).
