If the economy collapsed tomorrow, who would you blame?

Would you blame -

Politicans on both sides - who've been feeding us - everything is fine BS...instead of being straight up with the public and addressing the real economic problems.

The mainstream media - who've been blocking out real news and spoon-feeding us mis-information..

The Federal Reserve - who've been lying & destroying the US since it's conception ...

The people - for been ignorant and placid for so long ...

OR

Some other reason ...

    Bush, all other crisis would have been miniscule if he hadn't pass those two tax cuts for the rich and fought two wars on top of it. The wallstreet bail out and the Fannie Mae bailout could have been managed had we had revenue coming in instead of going overseas. If we would've never invaded Iraq, Iran would not be a threat to Israel right now. Had we killed Osama in Tora Bora we would have not fought our longest war ever. His leadership was a disaster and he just didn't give a f***. Not mention he's the reason Walmart drove so many small businesses out of business. Oh and did watch 9/11 those are his words, nothing out of context. He was a disaster and Romney wants to be an even bigger one.

    Drilling is not going to drive down gas prices at all. The day the keystone pipeline is opened for business is the same day gas prices reach record highs. Cracking causes earthquakes and the chemicals they release into the ground contaminate our water with benezene d carcinogens that cause Cancer. This is why the Koch brothers want Romney to win so they can keep on doing what they're doing and killing people.

    Well, that would depend up on what the economy collapsed from, wouldn't it?

    But in the past, I have blamed greedy/unethical bankers and the people gullible enough to buy into speculation bubbles.

    Most Americans worship Lies, Hearsays, and Rumors, instead of the truth. Many point the finger, blame, and complain. Some jump into things feet first without using their head. Others jump to conclusions. Before you accuse, get your facts straight. Due your Homework and research, before you stutter, stumble, and fumble. It’s strange how some Americans forget. Where was our Infrastructure, Security, and Safety in tact on such? On Reagan’s watch, nothing was said too much about Reagan’s Nov 1986 scandal that he knew nothing about, of Iran-Contra affair to exchange U.S. hostages to give guns to Iran. Plus NASA first shuttle Challenger disaster on 28 Jan 1986. Or on Bush JR’s watch he wasn’t blame for 911 on 11 Sep 2001 that killed about 3,000 people, not just 4 people. Nor on NASA 2nd Space Shuttle Columbia disaster on 1 Feb 2003. Not on Hurricane Katrina on 23 Aug 2005, and not on Minnesota bridge collapse on 1 Aug 2007. Now Americans are blaming Obama for everything. Plus Fast & Fery issue. From history, the Democrats have established many valuable programs like Welfare, Social Security, Union Rights and Equal Pay and Hours, Women’s Equal Rights, FDIC, Women in the Military, Military Integration, the Space Race and NASA, Man on the Moon, Civil Rights, Head Start, Medicare, Medicaid, SSI, Food Stamps, Unemployment Compensation, Family Work Leave Act, Foster Care Act, and etc. But what Republican remembers that? Regardless that the Democrats controlled Congress in Obama’s first two years, the Republicans voted no on every bill, while the Tea Party people marched and protested everywhere, some with racist signs and lies, and others vandalizing certain buildings as reported on the News. It wasn't a non-violent Civil Rights march. From day one and before, since Obama took office, many Republicans have tried everything against him. They played the anti American card, Birth card, Race card, and Religion card to impeach him which didn't work. Some Republicans want him to fix the 10 or 12 year old bad Economy Disaster over night or a few years. It may take 8 years to fix. I can’t believe that some people hate Obama who’s trying help and fix things. Some Americans are too greedy. Can’t do with less until things get better. They eat high off the Hog, overly brag, party too much, fall asleep at the wheel, and don’t Stand The Watch.(A military term.) Sorry, I’m a Military Vietnam Vet who‘s smart not dumb, not to brag. If U.S. Safety & Security was in tact, it would have stopped 911, Wall St Ponzi Schemes, NASA shuttle disasters, Bank Fraud, and the Economy Disaster. But all of this Government expense to fix this and that, plus fight 2 unwanted wars, correct Wall St and Bank Fraud, and money mis-management causing foreclosures on homes, car industries failing, and jobs sent overseas, since Private Industies don't wont to help to fix, has taken a big toll on our Economy, and Americans are upset with no jobs. But if everybody cooperates, and stop the bad name-callings, pointing fingers, blaming everybody, the racist signs and remarks, we may work together to restore America, so that everybody is happy again. Per a Republican senator lady who said on TV News, “Congress is dysfunctional. You can’t get nothing done.” Also, Mit Romney said in a private meeting, “that he likes 50% of Americans who are Rich, but don’t care about the other Poor 50% who abuse Social Security, Welfare, Food Stamps, on Disability who are lazy bums, don’t want to work, and not responsible.” "And don't care about the Middle East, just kick the can down the road for someone else to resolve." Those remarks don’t make a good U.S. President. It's not Black or White America. It’s the United States of America. Don’t “take my Country back” to Segregation and Discrimination.
