"60% of all foreclosers were because they lost their jobs and couldn''''t afford their homes they had well over 10 to 15 years!!! So, what cause that??? "Free-trade" agreements and "most-favored" nation status for China??? Who started all of that in America???

You''re the one who thought about, not me. You must feel guilty about something. Listen to your subconscious.

How many poor people do you know who spend all their money that keeps companies in business?

Both need each other.

Without the poor and middle class buying stuff, there will be no jobs ANYWAY.

It''s not only about the rich.

There aren''t enough rich to keep the economy going...ask China.

Yep you too! You poor simple minded losers can''''t hold a rally in a phone booth right now and all you know is "Blame"!

Just remember the four Marines that were killed because of your NEGLIGENT actions. You guilt is eating away at you and it comes out four-fold in HATRED. NEXT

There''''s no doubt Bush and the GOP in general have been a major disappointment this time around. Nowhere near the level of statesmanship displayed by earlier Republicans.

After this 8 year flame-out, the GOP needs to do a major re-tooling if they want to enjoy the benefit from the backlash against the Democrats that''''s bound to happen two or four years from now.

Ummm? I hate to pop your bubble there Sparky but the LAST flame out the fascist had it took 70 years for people to actually believe them again. NO ONE is going to vote for "Trickle Down" ever again in our lifetimes... no matter how you dress that pig! LOL Since it was the SAME Economic Policy that Obama is going to be using that created the LAST Balanced Budget we had and since there is no reason to believe that he will not be successful with that plan, maybe you and your party should just forget it... YOU and "Trickle Down" are HISTORY!!

How did the Democrats vote on the Hagel bill that proposed to strengthen regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac after it was discovered that these institutions were engaging in the same Clinton-era accounting fraud that had toppled Enron and Worldcomm?

Don''t you think the better question is how did the Pol''s vote on the Gramn/Leahy/Bliley Act and the Commodities Modernization Act? Those are the two laws the removed all the restrictions on Banks and allow their Predatory lending practices! The Two groups you site are but TWO of the lending institutions... is that all fascist think there are or is that the ONLY thing they have done that is even close to being a positive thing during this meltdown? I guess the party of "De-Regulation" has a big time problem right now huh? ROFLMAO But hey at least they still have support in the Fascist South.. well PART of it anyway!! ROFLMAO

Who asked you for your opinion CRIPPLE. You were the primary person responsible for the deaths of four of your Marines in Vietnam - so why do you gloat when you know the fact that those individuals died due to your neglect. Shameful Sparky

While I do not blame only one party for this economic mess, the root cause can be found in the rush to deregulation that started with the Reagan administration.
While some regulations in place since the Great Depression may no longer have been needed, instead of reform, they took the opposite extreme and got rid of just about all regulations all together, under the theory that the financial institutions would regulate themselves!
This turned out to be an utter disaster!
Anyone who thinks the next administration will be able to wave a magic wand and make all this go away is going to be sadly disappointed. It will take time to reverse this, but at least we can get started in the right direction.

This is the fault of liberals. They buy pot and meth and skip their mortgage payments.

actually, there is a senate banking and financing committee that, as overseers, is supposed to prevent this sort of thing from happening
Posted by jgg0002 at 01:52 PM : Nov 13, 2008

Are there any Democrats on this committee?

Do they include BARNEY FRANK???

Exactly who am I blaming?
Posted by armydog2 at 01:42 PM : Nov 13, 2008

It''s getting hard to tell. You DID say:

"He touts free trade all the time. and you are right nafta was a very bad call by clinton. "

You''re pretty clearly blaming Clinton for NAFTA. Not that I disagree, it''s just that you''re getting into a rut.

Not sure what you mean about free trade. You say it''s bad, and I agree. Bush says it''s good. What DID you mean to say about Bush and free trade? That Bush is wrong, and so he''s to blame?

It would be nice to discuss issues on their own merits, without this constant finger pointing of who''s to blame.

Unemployment at its highest in years, jobs sent overseas for cheaper labor and big tax breaks. The folks that lost these jobs probably were able to afford their mortgages when they were employed, all this free trade and trickle down economics has crippled our economy and we owe it all to the republican congress and bush and cheney etc. As for the Dem held congress for the past two years anyone with half a brain knows they do not have a big enough majority to overturn a presidential veto so the f@cking republicans still have control, the tie breaker goes to cheney.

Typical Dummycrat Whiner. Perhaps if you got off of your FAT AZZ and work rather than complain about something you know nothing about - you might make it. But to listen to babblings from your lower enlisted son in Iraq who has no clue about what is going on - is amusing.
Just tell your kid to do his job and keep his mouth shut and not act like his baffoon mother.

And your little brain cannot wrap itself around the fact that bush and the republican held congress are mainly responsible for the financial crisis this Country is in. HE IS THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF, albeit a pi-ss poor one.
You obviously cannot handle the truth when it smacks you right in the face!

I vote for more regulation!

Outlaw credit altogether! Credit has caused nothing but massive inflation. If you can''''t get a mortgage, then the seller cannot sell for $500k - $1M. Period.

Credit cards are BS too. Pay in cash, or don''''t pay at all. Period.
