Congressional Leaders Hopeful Of Striking Deal Before World Markets Open

Why in heaven''s name are there no news media outlets talking about the role the Federal Government played in creating the situation which caused the collapse of so many mortgage lenders? Passing legislation to force lenders to provide home loans to individuals who clearly didn''t have the financial means to repay the loans had a huge impact on the stability in the markets. Yet none of the so called "news" (pronounced propaganda) networks has even dared to make mention of this fact. The legislation passed and forced onto the mortgage lenders has to be investigated and the names of the politicians who perpetrated this scheme must be made public, but I suppose that would only happen if it was done by those mean nasty Republicans, right?

I want to vote to the person who will follow this GREAT American idea and concept and return my America to me and my fellow citizens forthwith..."We hold these truths to be sacred & undeniable; that all men are created equal & independent, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent & inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these ends, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles & organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness." Thomas Jefferson

government by the rich; for the rich. Any provisions to prevent a recurrence? Or will raping the treasury now become the norm?
