It is investors, day traders and computer trading that caused the crash and is creating another one. These cycles were created by Libertarian philosophy of Greenspan. While we have had economic instability since he set policy, the government has been unable to rein in the excesses due to bankers power and money. Bernanke was instrumental is saving the economy after the Bush crash. Yellen kept it humming along. They absolutely did not create a bubble. That was done during Bush and no administration has had the power to rein the bankers in. But Trump is accelerating it. He is dismantling the CFPB. as an example.
The real creator of the bubbles was Phil Gramm who got the "financial Acts" passed at the end of Clinton's presidency. He got it passed in a very late night lame duck session . He got rid of Glass Steagal and allowed banks to gamble with depositors money. Gramm tried over and over to get Glass removed. His wife was an Enron Exec. After it was passed ,a couple Dems like Durbin came out and said we had passed a bill that was a threat to the economic stability of the US. Even after the messes we have had, the Dems still cannot get it fixed. You know Trump will not do the right thing.,
The groundwork for the bubble has its antecedents back in Greenspans days. He was a Libertarian who wanted to end all financial regulation because he believed that bankers were benign and would naturally do the right thing. One of his followers, Phil Gramm pushed over and over to pass banking deregulation. He finally got it through in a very late night .lame duck session of congress. When it was over a few Dems, including Durbin came out and warned us what they had done. It ended Glass Steagal and much regulation allowing banks to use depositors money for investing. He said it was a dangerous and bad mistake.
This is the genesis of the "bubble". The CFPB bureau actually stops banks from many of the acts that still create dangerous banking policies.
The mortgage bubble was not a home loan problem. It was using mortgages to back exotic banking schemes. Bankers charged home loan companies with getting as many mortgages as possible. They forced them to drop standards over and over. Mortgages were the backing for derivatives. Banks cooerced the rating agencies to permit nearly any home loan and any derivative to pass through.
Those conditions were not addressed. It is slowly happening again.
Ok, well it's a lie that Greenspan wanted to end all financial regulation. The repeal of Glass-Steagal did not cause the financial crash. And it was not pushed through in the late of the night. It was something the Clinton Administration pushed for along with Republicans in Congress.
I'll restate what I wrote above: The housing bubble and subsequent crash received its impetus from the government pushing for higher home ownership and the Fed's easy money policies.
Look at the policies of the Clinton and Bush administration that pushed home ownership. And to get that number higher they had to reach people who were less able to afford it. And they were able to do that with the help of Fannie and Freddie. That was the basis of what the bankers were trading.
QE has pushed an asset bubble and it includes housing. We are seeing it again.
Don't drink and post. You are wrong. It was the elimination of Glass Steagal that allowed banks to mix deposits with their investments. It was The Gramm banking bills that laid the groundwork for the crash. No ,it was not Cuomo. Yes Gramms bill was a late night session. I fucking watched it. QE has nothing to do with the 2008 crash. The laws that were pushed then, are still in effect.

Personally, I would love to see the government shut down other than a select few critical functions. I don't recall seeing or hearing anything about Trump wanting to arbitrarily shut it down as you describe in you thread title, but I would love to see it happen. Do you have a link to the media source that is reporting this arbitrary shut down? The only media I can find where Trump and a government shutdown are connected seem to also be connected with immigration. Please post the link to this arbitrary shutdown that is not connected with immigration.
