In 1996, Clinton put the Community Reinvestment Act on steroids which led to risky lending and community groups squandering money from places like J.P. Morgan. This led to the housing collapse in 2008. Had Bush Sr. got a second term, we would've avoided the housing collapse. Other things done to avoid the housing collapse would've been an increase in interest rates and tougher loan qualifications. NAFTA still would've been signed and welfare reform would've gotten passed. I fear the Democrats would've kept the House in 1994 though as the president's party normally loses seats and there wouldn't have been a backlash over Hillary Care. In 1996, Bob Dole would've run against John Kerry. Hillary Clinton would've never gone further than the senate and would've had to start in the U.S. House as a representative from Arkansas. They don't move to New York either. Bush Sr. would've responded to the bombing of the WTC in 1993 with force that sent a stronger message. Without Waco, there would be no Oklahoma City bombing. Saddam Hussein wouldn't have had the opportunity to assassinate George Bush and neither would he have violated U.N. resolutions 17 times between 1993-2001. He would've at least waited until Bush was out of office in 1997. If he had violated sanctions during Bush's second term, he would've quickly been taken out of power within the same time frame Bush Sr. had us in Iraq during his first term. In the 90's we had several chances to kill Osama Bin Laden and with the CIA and FBI being able to share information unlike during the Clinton administration, there would've been no 9/11 attacks and more than 3,000 people would still be alive.
