Clinton administration allowed writing those subprime contracts. So, who is responsible for that? Republicans and Democrats both supported that system and hence there was no outcry from anyone. A bubble has to burst at some point, sadly for Bush it was in his last year. He too inherited Presidentship in post dot-com bubble burst and then lead the nation to fastest growth for 7 years. But no one remembers it. Btw, Bush took fast measures to contain the recession by passing TARP agreement. Bush was at least decisive in what he wanted to do. Iraq war was probably his only wrong policy.The bubble went off 7 YEARS into the Bush presidency, you can't blame the Clinton administration for what happened almost a decade later.
Healthcare is a basic human right, and probably the largest single human right's issue facing 10's of millions of Americans. Yes it might be a drag on the government's funds, though paying for more healthcare would actually be better for the economy overall. There are a few issues worth fighting for, universal healthcare is one that is worth the cost.
Human right is a piece of BS. How about human right of future generations which you are going to suppress by piling on unsustainable levels of debt? But probably human rights of next generation do not matter for myopic people!
