As for laying the blame for the mortgage crisis on "liberal policy" and rich people just taking advantage of it, well, it's too stupid to even warrant a response.

Contrary to what you've been brainwashed to believe, it absolutely will not hurt it.

we may very well find out first hand....I hope you are right, because I am ready for a booming economy once again.....I need to witness it.

are you referring to the meek tax cut in the ARRA bill?....that was amazingly insignificant, on average $35 a month, and in no way has that or could that boost the economy.  It is also just a one year, one time cut.  They go back to the way it was next year.  Those who was getting used to the extra cash will now have it taken away from them.  That is going to hurt the economy, once again.

  Henery says:  $35 a month is amazingly insignificant.  Well, $35 a month among 1.5 million people end up to be a huge amount of money spent into the economy.  Not like the rich who put their tax cuts into bonds, hedge funds in make more money to put that money into more bonds and hedge funds to make more money.  :doh: :knife:

I am being somewhat facetious, (not entirely) but somewhat.......I understand that two wrongs does not make a right...but, I do believe that Washington (dem and repub) has contributed to creating ths mess....and Frank and Dobbs has as much blood on thier hands as anyone.

  Yep, it's all Frank, Dobbs, Pelose, Obama,  Reed,  Santa Clause :hohoho: Pogo and Mother Teresa.  It's always some other peoples fault that cause this depression. 

  There is no way it could be George W's and the Republican/Tea Party fault.  :jc:

Let me elaborate...

Democrats take control of the house in 2006 and suddenly all of the country's problems became theirs. Despite the fact that they had a Republican president who just as suddenly found his right to veto.

Republicans take control of the house. Is all of the country's problems their fault? Based on the logic above they should be considering that the situation is basically a carbon copy of the previous one. The one difference? Obama WILL work with them if they'd be reasonable and put concern for the country over posturing.

November 2010 the rightwing said, "the people have spoken". If you say so, but I don't recall anyone asking for a clusterf^ck.

Let me elaborate...Yeah, when the POTUS first got elected, he had THIS to say about the republican... "They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back." ...Now THERE is a real leader for you....

I am sick and tired of this POTUS and the dems, whinning that this economy is STILL Bush and the repubs fault......THEY (the dems) are the ones who said they could fix EVERYTHING.....well, they only made things worse...and if you cannot see this, then you are not being honest....this crap of NOW saying that "things were worse than we THOUGHT"!!!  is just political BS!

I watch MSNBC last night and it was so full of BS propaganda it was pathetic......every thing was 'Cut, Cap and destroy'.....they kept saying how the Republicans was going to destroy SS, medicade and medicare..............ALL scare tactics and bull shit...

Now, before you attack me....I am NOT saying Bush and the repubs were perfect, they DID contribute to the mess by spending WAY too much.....they ALL suck...........but, I would LOVE for just ONE of you to admit that the DEMS in washington suck TOO!!!...and the Obama is NOT the savior that many thought he was going to be.........JUST ONE!!

I can't wait until the illiterate redneck neocons fuck this country up so badly that anarchy breaks out.  I have lots and lots of ammo.

I'm pretty sure that's what your little group of nancy-girls was screaming while promoting the (expensive) politics of fear.

Like the POTUS scaring the senior citizens with his lie's....saying "he couldn't guarantee Social Security checks would be sent out on Aug. 3 if Congress did not raise the debt ceiling by Aug. 2"...which is a LIE! and fearmongering at it's finest.

WAS it a lie? The fact is unless the debt ceiling is raised by August 2, 60% of the government's obligations would go unpaid.

Now, seeing how republicans have held the unemployed hostage and military personnel hostage, where do YOU think they'll start when deciding which areas will go unpaid?  :rolleyes:
