T.A.R.P. was a Bush invention that was shoved down our throats at the last minute.Why would anyone trust the Republicans to get us out of what they got us into?

This mess was not created overnight and won't be solved overnight. But obstruction isn't going to get it done.

Follow the debt trail over the last 30 years when you thought things were good.

Think about it. The tax cuts have been in place for how many years now and we still had a melt down of the economy, so the big scare that if they expire things will get worse are unfounded. The unemployment problem has much deeper roots and is more multi faceted than the GOP's line on tax cuts being the big answer. They have used this theory since the 80's and the federal deficit has increased right along with it.

A friend of mine has a mare with no chesnuts at all on her legs, I'll been around horses all my life and have never witnessed this. She is a Reg. Quarter Horse fresh off the range and hasn't been groomed previous to my friend owning her. Her legs are smooth, there is no trace of chesnuts at all.

Maybe instead of just saying no they should offer up something better.

If capitalism is so great and works so well for everyone why is this the case? Shouldn't it be the other way around? With all their lobbyists, greedy executives and shareholders it seems they undermine their best case for the free market.

He makes a whole lot of sense and explains mcuh of what is wrong and why.

I'd like to be able to buy it like car insurance, not connected with my job, some even say "You won't be turned down". Maybe people who voluntarily engage in risky behaviors should pay more, they cost more for treatment. I just think there needs to be more common sense, less greed (by companies and individuals), and more personal responsibilty. There should be changes which would result in lesser costs to those who end up paying for those who don't have care, it's just another way to screw the middle class. Sliding fee would even help offset that cost.

As far back as I can remember people were able to vote for who they thought would do the best job for them. Now it is all reduced to labels and how neatly you fit into one catagory or the other, it is assumed that if you believe one things you must believe all these other things, sorry but that is just not the case and by letting that happen we give away much of our power and freedom. If you assume that those trying to get us on board for the whole ride are out to screw us you'd be closer to the truth about their agendas. At some point the people will have to find common ground or lose it all. We are pawns in a big game of "Divide and Conquer"

How would that make them a better justice, wouldn't that be looking at them to vote their beliefs, not follow the constitution?

deficits they were incurring? Were they just following the pattern of Reagan and Bush 41? http://zfacts.com/p/318.html What do you think would be happening if Bush and Cheney were still in office, they were all for the first stimulus package that bailed out all the banks. I think they were hoping to get the h*** out before the sh** hit the fan and someone else could take the blame, they made thier millions off us, no bid contracts and all.

Do as I say, not as I do....this seems wrong on many levels.

We have the spend and spend more, which began with the TARP under Bush and more big spending to prop up a mess and try to keep Average Joe's from ending up homeless. And we have the cut taxes theory that has been used for the last 8+ years and not worked yet. Anyone have any other ideas, cause I'm not hearing anything else?

who do we think is going to keep buying our debt? China is already saying it is our fault for all the poor choices we've made in the past,

"Capital must protect itself in every possible manner by combination and legislation. Debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages must be foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through a process of law, the common people lose their homes they will become more docile and more easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of government, applied by a central power of wealth under control of leading financiers. This truth is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of Capital to govern the world. By dividing the voters through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance. Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished." USA Banker's Magazine, August 25 1924

A quote by Thomas Jefferson: "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies... if the American people ever allow private banks(the Fed is a quasi private/government institution) to control the issue of currency.. the banks and corporations that grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent that their fathers conquered."
