It's The Republican Recession: the recession started with your policies of not regulating the banking and mortgage industries and you purposely keep it going by refusing to agree to any remedies that would turn the economy around before the next Presidential election.
Why is this important?
The financial breakdown happened on the Republican watch and because of Republican de-regulating policies. The Republicans in Congress purposely keep the recession raging so they can a) use a shock doctrine technique to collapse government regulation even more, b) blame President Obama and regain the Presidency, the Senate and c) reward their corporate backers and promoters from Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court to the Koch Brother and Murdoch oligarchies.
