Could the Financial Crisis have been avoided?

Yes! But a number of things happened that assured it would NOT be avoided. Was that by design? Consider the facts:

Was the Economic Crisis Manufactured?

In the summer of 2008 as McCain and Obama were in the midst of their campaigns to capture the presidency, a series of events dramatically changed the focus of the campaign from Iraq to the economy. From that point on, Obama took the lead and eventually won the presidency.

Now, a full two years later, the Pentagon has issued a report on the series of events that led to the 2008 economic crash.

[...]

Notable for its absence is any suggestion that the economic events that arguably catapulted Obama into the White House may have originated in our own political system.

[...]

The series of 'inadvertent errors', deliberate obstruction, political shenanigans, behind the scenes manipulation of the money markets and non-stop calls for immediate infusions of taxpayer cash brought the U.S. to its knees by February 2009. And continues to this day.

The newly issued Pentagon report, along with the media and our elected officials, seem intent on not connecting the dots, considering only foreign enemies as the possible cause of the financial meltdown:

[...]

This author believes there is enough information to at least consider that this crisis was manufactured for political gain. Right here at home.

Read the whole thing, it's brief. Connect the dots. Look at the time line of events, and who the players were. Clearly there were several opportunities where Democrats should have zigged, but zagged instead. Creating a crisis that they exploited, and continue to exploit even now.
