Reagan was a President. He had no say in what Congress did. Why don't you bash Reagan for Supreme Court rulings as well?
Do you understand what caused the S&L collapse? Or am I going to have to teach history to yet ANOTHER Conservative dipshit?
What law(s) did he enact by fiat that caused the recession?
NONE...that's the problem. That shit economy came from the collapse of the S&L's that Reagan demanded we deregulate, and Bush the Elder was too fucking stupid to think of something to avoid it...because Conservatism always fails. Always.
It's also a very strange coincidence that over the last 43 years, we have always had recessions that started when a Conservative was President.
What law(s) did he enact by fiat that caused economic collapse?
A lot.
1. Starting with the American Dream Downpayment Act
2. The 2001 and 2003 Tax Cuts
3. Reversing a HUD rule that Clinton put in place that used to forbid GSE's from counting subprimes toward affordable housing goals
4. His Treasury department told Wall Street Banks they could overleverage all the while telling Congress that there wasn't a problem
5. He opposed GSE reform (not that GSE reform would have made a difference since the toxic mortgages were explicitly NOT backed by Fannie & Freddie)
6. He also protected predatory lenders by invoking an OCC rule that overrules state protections.
I mean, fuck, Bush even tied his tax cuts to the same housing policy in 2004 that would end up collapsing by the end of 2006:
Bush Ties Policy to Record Home Ownership
Touting his tax cuts as the economy's savior — and pointing to the strong housing market as proof — Bush said "more people own their own home now than ever." More than 50 percent of minorities owned their own homes in the last three months of 2003 for the first time ever, the president said.
