I'm no expert, but it almost seems as if both parties are in on it together and taking turns while the pendulum swings more and more to the right.
I dunno if the entire financial system would have collapsed if there were no bailout, and I'm not saying that a depression was what the country needed, although it may yet happen. Nor am I saying the government should do nothing; they should help out the "small people". Those with more assets invested than was insured are better able to make up their losses. The government can bail out my losses, and down with AIG!~) As long as these corporations run things their way, it will be business as usual and they'll keep getting their bonuses, etc. Seriously: http://www.dollarsandsense.org/archives/2010/0310alperovitzdaly.html http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/17/world/asia/17japan.html and... http://www.columbia.edu/~lnp3/mydocs/computers/technical_inheritance.htm Get me some of that electric Kool Aid! I agree with Dan about the Tea Baggers. Those fockers can't wait to return the country to laissez faire capitalism! No minimum wage, no employer paid pension plans, health insurance, etc. No public education, but a powerful military ain't socialism. It's there in the constitution, so that makes it okay to run up a deficit to pay for Bush's wars. Good way to keep the economy going til the bill comes due and you can turn the government over to that black guy... They way things are going those connoisseurs of Earl Grey may yet get their way and start massacring strikers again. Maybe even bring back child labor. What an even better world that would be for the elite!~{ Hey, I'm no fan of Bernanke, but that Congressman, Garrett, would not let the poor guy finish his answers! _______________________________________________ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
