What depression was that? 1929?
If you are speaking of this RECESSION, then you are wrong. Republicans did not have control of congress for the two last years Bush was in office. The Democrats had the majority of both houses of congress for the last two years of Bush.
Bush did try to get Fanny/Freddy audited several times but it was denied by Barney Frank every time.
