I disagree. I think most of them are in on it.

See Transportation Bill and all those that voted for it.

You are correct. But until the Dems have the stones to stand up and start voting against some of this crap or people then the CONS will always be able to point to the Dems as being 'at fault' because they are collaborators.

This gets a nod as the most non-sequitor post ever.

There was a term for that time period, "irrational exuberance."
Throughout, I told everyone [not here, here didn't exist then, in the real world] "there's gonna come a day when people figure out that beanie babies are just cute little pouches of filler and bringmemydinner.com is a shitty business model and shit is gonna hit the fan." It did, but we survived.
You can't deify an era when people throw money around like fools without accepting the hangover as part and parcel of it.
That's like being the brokedown dude outside the Casino and blaming someone else because you are no longer enjoying the days when you were at the high rollers table putting your retirement on 'red.'
