Nancy Pelosi famously denied Democrats had any responsibility for the financial crisis that we are dealing with right now.  She stills sticks with that fantasy.  However, I don’t think too many people believe her.  Today the Washingtonwatch blog listed the members of Congress who voted for the 2000 Consolidated Appropriations Act which allowed trading credit [...]
