The Democratic Plan In Action .... Foreclosures Rise; Repossessions Set Record .. It's all GW's .... Cheney ... Reagan's Boehner's fault.
You guys have it way too easy.
If Obama had done the same thing that Herbert Hoover did the last time this situation came up, which is nothing, you guys would be blaming the soup kitchens and the bread lines on Obama.
Instead, because he decided to act aggressively to slow down the circling of the drain, you get to point at him and laugh that the economy that the previous guy totally wrecked is still not fixed.
And you propose as remedy, the same medicine that wrecked it in the first place, more deregulation, more spending without a source of income to pay for it (that would be extending the tax cuts), going further than Obama to please Wall Street and banking and oil and coal and eggs and so on.
How many times do we have to go down that same road and discover a giant cliff at the end of it to catch on that it isn't a good road?
Gramps, I think you skipped your meds again as the economy was sorely damaged by subprime mortgage created by Carter and increased by Clinton to force bad lending practices to help fools that could afford the places they were buying. Fraud via friends of the DemocRATs at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were protected from investigation added to the mess. Lehman Brothers was the fore-front of the collapse via fraud they created and sold; and they were saved by their buddies in RAT infested Congress that failed the American people and our economy. They had the gall to save these firms with our money that should have been eaten by the market for what was worth buying.
"In short, America's economic meltdown has been caused by greed, conflict of interest, unenforced regulations that were ignored while on the books, a reckless disregard of Congressional oversight, and complete disrespect for the American people. It was caused by politicians for politicians who are reactive rather than proactive and who wait for something bad to happen and then try to fix it. Congressional oversight demands of those doing the over-seeing that they look for what might happen and legislate to prevent it, not perform surgery after a bad financial appendix bursts."
What is the point of regulation if Congress and other fed groups don't do their job? If they would have done their job, than things would have not gotten so bad. Rules, Laws, and such that have forced jobs overseas have not helped our economy very much either. Congress was at fault for the majority of the economy collapse.
But wait, doesn't that mean we need more regulation?
cartoons are fun
Cartoons are a way to try to be funny and cool without really having to make a point, someone else made it for them.
what's the point if no one even bothers to check the industry?
Like i said before, Republican trolling will be in full effect till after November elections (If you doubt it just look up).. One thing i love,these guys say the same bs over and over again.. Doesnt matter how far from the truth it is, some thing if they say it enough times it must be true!
:Edit to add: I like how they use posting habbits of known trolls like steamed then complain about him also.
steamed
HAR! Truth this is. And they have the same stupid look as the collapsing military that halted or retreated from South Korea, Vietnam, Mogadishu, the Bay of Pigs and Iraq. Education = Retreat - Do ask, do tell your CO of your deep and enduring passion for his loins; Energy = Use more of it in a warlike way; Jobs = Defense industry
