It did not start in 2006. R's did not control congress from 2001-2003 (It was a tie until Jeffords switched parties in 2001). Control of the house is interesting, because the republicans never had as much power as D's did in 2007, but a few votes difference doesn't really mean that much.

Can you definitively rule out the effects of policies from every year that D's had control of a larger portion of government over the last 30 years? Their are real issues with pinning in various deregulation, including the fact that overall regulation of the financial sector increased even as various specific rules were relaxed.

Be careful assigning blame to glass-steagall in particular. The actual effect of that rule was arguably to soften the blow of the crash rather than to cause it. The most diverse banks were the least affected.

If we won't stand together, we don't stand a chance.
