- Thank you George Bush and the republican party
They are STUPID, ARROGANT, DISHONEST, RECKLESS AND INCOMPETENT.
It will take years to clean up after this gang of moron thugs. - Reply to this comment
- you had been paying attention to facts instead of listening to sounds bites by the MSM, you'd have seen Europe go NO, WE'RE NOT POURING BILLIONS INTO BANKS...THEY DON'T NEED IT....YOU'RE A MORON FOR PRODUCING SUCH A STUPID PLAN!
Mostly because the leaders in Europe knew it was a total scam in the first place.

EU governments have committed ?3 trillion to bail out banks with guarantees or cash injections in the wake of the global financial crisis, the European Commission said on Wednesday (8 April).
The money has been spent on "guarantee umbrellas, risk shields and recapitalisation measures for the financial sector," Brussels said in a report.
Some ?2.3 trillion went to financial guarantee schemes, some ?300 billion to recapitalisation schemes, and around ?400 billion were spent on other rescue and restructuring programmes.
The commission data also shows that while most member states have offered their banks some special guarantees, many central and eastern European states ? including Slovakia, Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia and Bulgaria ? have not.
Analysts note that although these countries are as exposed to the crisis as the rest of the member states, their banks are mostly owned by western European ones and their governments do not have enough money for bail outs.

- Why did they manufacture the crisis that was never there in the first place and take it straight to The New Party commies in congress?
Did you not get that part???? There was no economic crisis!

- The Europeans wanted more regulations of the banking system. The U.S. on the other hand, still believe in the "magic" of the "free market", yet somehow sees nothing wrong with giving PUBLIC money to PRIVATE corporations to do what they want without too much oversight.
In other words, help for regular folks is bad, corporate welfare is good. - Reply to this comment

- Once AGAIN the TARP HOAX was instigated by Bernanke and Geithner of the Federal Reserve on September 15th when they met secretly with congress before they ever consulted with Paulson/Bush on September 18th.

Why would they meet with the architects of the financial meltdown, (Bush Paulson), to try to solve the financial meltdown? - Reply to this comment

She's not leaving.
She probably got hungry and went to peek in the trough, to see if the farmer "slopped it" lately. - Reply to this comment
- Yeah, Hilarious, isn't it....both Reagan and G. H. W. Bush had democratic controlled Congresses....what more could you expect? Same thing happened to Dubya after the commies took control in 2007! And Clinton didn't pay down ANY debt until the republicans took over his administration and clalmped down with welfare reform!
Sometimes the FACTS help you out a little, when you want to see the REAL picture, rather than drink at the propaganda pig trough!

So we invaded iraq, and sent HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars there - starting in 2003, because the democrats were elected in 2007?
Perhaps you could detail for us, which massive and wasteful spending programs or bills, the democratic senate and congress created in 2007 or 2008? - Reply to this comment

I don't think so. Not just this country, but many other countries have had to commit trillions in cash to support their suddenly insolvent financial sectors. If you give Citibank $20 billion, of COURSE they're going to declare a $2 billion profit for the quarter, and go through the PR of 'returning' this money. Worse, the derivatives mess was a form of economic warfare, mostly practiced by big, wealthy nations against smaller, less wealthy ones. If they can keep the finance sector from imploding, this swindle will be allowed to go to fruition: a new economic slavery of many small countries (like Iceland) by larger ones. Its really just a different kind of invasion. - Reply to this comment

Because 26,000 news organization are "always wrong", and the leggy Fox News models are "always right".

So, Reagan and the Bushes were held hostage by their Democratic Congresses? They 'made' them cut taxes?? LOL. Man, that's a riot.
Speaking of truth: in the last 50 years government spending has gone down, from 21% of GDP to 18% (exclusive of entitlement spending). And, as we know, tax revenues are WAY down. Hence debt. Debt is slavery, and the American public is just BEGINNING to find out that slaves don't have a voice. - Reply to this comment

Rowdy106 said: "What a crock of BS, when it was The New Party commies that were driving the schemes to crater the economy...... The New Party commies ... what's your excuse for Clinton's $5.7 million dollar debt.. the NY Attorney General was consorting with hookers... got any more commie pig trough of lies and propaganda to spew out there?"
Wassa matter, did I hit a nerve? Let me repeat: Bush doubled the national debt and looked the other way as Wall Street bankers gambled their way into a multi-trillion dollar hole that they KNEW that we (being little people) would be asked to fill. This is 100% due to a deregulated financial sector: another swindle of the American people. - Reply to this comment
- Rowdy106 said: "that would be Clinton's $5.7 BILLION dollar debt....more debt than the Bush administration ran up? "
Clinton inherited most of that debt (about $4 trillion) from HW Bush, who inherited most of THAT from Reagan, who inherited almost NONE of that from Carter. Clinton came closer to actually paying down the debt, then GW came to town and that ended that. Debt is a GOP speciality and you'll never convince anyone of different. - Reply to this comment
- Too bad it didn't work, because the Tea Party Million March succeeded and their voices are being heard all across the US...and now even the Blue Dog democrats are taking notice of what they've done and are withdrawing their support.

Million? Just who are you trying to kid? Maximum attendance for that joke was 150,000 if it was that high,and that was nationwide. I hope you don't use that Clinton math when you run your business. - Reply to this comment

You and others reelected him: giving tacit approval to his blind eye to their shenanigans.
And the ONLY public official to go after Wall Street bankers in a big way, over their corruption, found himself out of office over a hooker. He was outed by his BANK to the Bush FBI and they, of course, took aggressive action. After that NO ONE was going after the banks. - Reply to this comment
- Deregulated societies are subject to boom/bust cycles. FDR proved for 50 years that through regulation and progressive taxation thats not 'the way it has to be'. America was never better than for the 50 years after FDR's New Deal and regulation of the finance sector. I think the verdict of history is in on Reaganomics, don't you??

- It's time we stopped looking at the past. Bush and the Republican Lie doesn't work and now we, along with the President we elected to do it, change the economic course of this nation. When the top 10% control the vast majority of the Wealth, that means our system is going to grind to a halt. THEY are not the ones who drive the economy and they are not the ones creating the jobs. I remember what my Dad, who came through the great depression, said before he died. "You give a Working Stiff a buck", He said, "and some greedy person will find something to sell him in order to get it". It's called Demand Side Economics and THAT'S the Girl we all brought to the dance! For our Grand Kids we must NOT leave all these problems for them to deal with AND jobs at Wal Mart to survive on!

- Took almost 30 years for the bubble to pop but that was all it ever was. The results of reaganomics are in. It's time to build some real markets now.

Well I think we have done a pretty good job THIS time on a Leader. He seems to know EXACTLY what you are talking about. We know the rest of the world as well as this nation is going to HAVE to get off oil, we know the environment needs cleaning up and we Know our Infrastructure has fallen apart and we know our education system needs fixing and we know our health care is in the crapper... come to think of it we left our First African American President in quite a mess!
