I think 2008 was the real trigger, and the replay we're in now is making that clear. That said, I still have a hard time knowing where this goes beyond the 2020 election. Dems are notorious for dropping the ball.
2008 was not the real trigger. It did not make the new values, a regeneracy or the crisis heart nigh on inevitable. Obama chose not to go after the Wall Street people, and lost the congress, thus the endless red - blue debate went on.
A catalyst, sure. It shaped how everybody viewed the economy. The trigger, no.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
