Stay a while, make new friends.

I just watched the Katie Couric inerview tonight. Wow!! That's all I can say. Wow!!

"Those are the bad guys." Bad guys?? What is this, 4th grade?!

"And trade.. we've got to see trade as opportunity not as a uhm competitive... scary thing." Scary??

I now know why McCain wanted to cancel next weeks VP debate. This is going to be embarassing. Here's more:

You mean the Gramm Leach Wiley Act?? Named after Phil Gramm, McCains Senior Economic Advisor??

This isn't just about giving loans to poor people RF. It's not that simple. It's about the Fed drastically reducing Prime interest rate during the first Bush recession in an effort to stimulate the economy. Since stocks were down, the thought was lower interest rates to boost home buying. Coorporations, who had little regulation, were dishing out mortgages left & right. This drove the home prices to rise. Coorporations, whose CEO's only look at quarterly reports & stock prices, milked it, with little to no foresight into down the line. As long as their stock was up, they were doing a good job. Then, it came back to bite them, as the prices reached ridiculous prices, it soon began to sink. People who bought $300k houses were now valued at $250K. If they were in a risky ARM mortgage, which could rise after 3-5 years, they could not afford the "new" monthly payment. With no option to sell, as they'd lose the $50K, their only option was to walk away & no longer pay. I'm not solely blaming Republicans on this but it is due to their overall beliefs & ideas of less regulation.

And if you think these are the dumb poor people, think again. What areas were hit worst by the housing bust?? Southern California, Vegas, Phoenix & Florida. With their $500K- $1million houses & all. THAT is where this problem lies. I live in Philadelphia, foreclosure isn't a big problem here because they never rose out of control. I guess the rich don't want to live in my city but whatever.

He wasn't "exonerated" he was instructed that he "exercised poor judgement".

Someone who used "poor judgement" is now trying to rescue this country from an Economic Crisis?!  It's valid.

Yeah, just an even, arbitray date. I guess you're right though, FDR was from 32-45 or so, so since 1930 is about the same thing. Just trying to say in modern history. But yeah, Bush has been pretty fucking bad.
