How's about we start in late 2006 or 07.. when it all came to a head and 2009 had NOTHING to do with it.
I'm sorry but I fail to see the Obamanization factor in what precluded this terrible mess NOR am I willing to blame the Bushwacked era.
When are people gonna stop blaming the political administrations or party's for crimes committed by greedy industry ??
I've got a Masters in Business Admin but don't think that has led to my conclusions. When Greenspan put out the word of his retirement, at the peak of insanity, I had some serious misgivings about the future. He and his cronies got out of the markets just in the nick of time.......
KINDA makes ya wonder...... doesn't it???
Here's a way to look at this thing.....
Obama is nothing more than the Doctor in charge of triage.
He didn't cause the injury and we're bleeding out.
You are entitled to your opinions.
"Industry, as every other business, exist to make a profit"...........
Do you consider Bernie Madoff a Business man? How about Tom Petters? How about Haliburton as a business? Goldman Sachs? etc.
Theft, Terry, is not doing business. It is a criminal act to deprive others.
Now don't get me wrong in suggesting some "politicians" don't fit right in here... and they come from both sides of the isle.
This is an un-answerable question.... but ask yourself how we'd be any better off had McCain/Palen got the nod.
Finally, someone who actually says something that makes sense. Indeed, the economic downturn was already headed for the toilet long before the current talking head took charge.
It is interesting to listen to all the noisy ones bitch and complain, and see them so eager to point fingers, and they are so blinded by their rage that they can only see the present, and have forgotten the events of the past ten, or even 20 to 30 years.
The current state of not just the United States, but the World, is the result of greed and poor judgement of those who wield the power over the economy.
And suppose McCain/Palin did get elected.
We would be watching the end of the World as we once knew it because that misguided pair would have us embroiled in the third, and final war, a war that will be the end of the human race.
It isn't enough that we got involved in Iraq under false pretenses, and Afghanistan in the "War on Terror", McCain would have stopped at nothing to continue the senseless violence for whatever reason could be dreamed up, no matter the cost.
And don't fool yourselves. The battles going on in the Middle East are bankrupting our Nation. Billions of dollars a day, that will never be recovered.
For what?
Weapons of mass destruction that were never found. You would think that after all the time had passed since we invaded Iraq we would have found something.
But there was nothing to find.
And who led us into that farce?
Do I really need to mention his name?
