In a strict sense, yes. But what is it evidence of? The goal of the testimony was not to support the claim that there has been deregulation of the financial sector, and so it was not evidence for the claim that Lune is making. I hope you were just being facetious.

But starting in 1992 Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were given minimum requirements on buying what is deemed "high risk" mortgages (and these minimums were raised several times), based on changes to the Community Reinvestment Act in 1977.

Here is a 60 page or so breakdown of how Greenspan, Bernanke, Henry Paulson, and the financial sector are demonstrable vile pieces of shit. Far from the only document tracing forces and changes in laws/financial instruments to conclude that they are indeed scum of the earth.

I find it funny that someone is spouting off about needing scientific evidence while supporting libertarianism when there are 3 decades worth of economic data showing that the only 'trickle down' effect is the concentration wealth at the top.

You achieved the rare feat of engaging in more fallacies than the number of words in your post. Very high density, congrats.
