The Dems don't have to search for the cause. The people that caused it are the same ones blaming them for causing it now.
The party of personal responsibility has never been able to do anything other than point the finger away from themselves.
snoop and bluhawk, not the only solution but a good start is term limits. These pigs(both parties) run for jobs in govt because once in they are set for life. The role of govt is to serve the people not the other way around. If people could only serve 2 terms they would have to move on go back in the private sector and see how most people actually live and work.
Our politicians are so out of touch with the normal working family it is ridiculous. Start term limits and start ending the oligarchy.
Would it even be mathematically possible to have term limits on congressman/woman? If a Representative had a two term limit (i.e., 4 years total), where are we going to get all these Americans to run for office? I seriously do not want to see joe-the-war-plumber and other sub-average joes representing my district.
This woman is liberal gold...
Every time she opens her mouth, it's another 5 House seats and 2 Senators for us.
Thank You awful Annie! And thank your booking agent.
Whatever way you'd describe the mind-boggling amount of debt on the books of the many financial services companies and banks presently being bailed out by the American Taxpayer (who are being dragged down by this mind-boggling debt, in the form of vaporized 401k accounts and illiquid non-lending banks, and all of the resulting recessionary fallout)... whatever way you'd describe this mind-boggling debt, there's at least two things you'd say about it:
One, all this bad paper was purchased and put on the books of those institutions, wantonly knowingly and with all eyes wide open, by people who worked for them, the institutions...
And two, they should have known better, shouldn't they?
I mean, what business is it exactly that Merrill Lynch and Bank of America and AIG and the many others are in, if they are not in the business of investing money wisely, and examining those investments (purchases) with a comb so fine-toothed, it sifts the future for non-returns and non-performance and lost value?
And seeing as that's the business they are in (making wise investments and purchases), then why did they all so collectively do such a bad job, and amass so much bad paper on their many books?
Which is to ask, why did they throw so much good money after bad?
And while we ask ourselves that, as we the American Taxpayer assume that bad debt (inherit that bad money), we ask also where did that good money go?
Who got it?
These questions have real answers, and those answers are all in the form of the names of actual and real people, who all worked for the many companies and banks now being bailed out, and who all purchased that mind-boggling amount of bad paper, wantonly and knowingly and not only with both eyes wide open, but with all the requisite OKs and signatures and initials, on the many Requisitions...
Who exactly, by name and job title, did this at the many institutions involved, and why?
And when I ask why, I ask why would someone who should know better, someone whose profession it is to make wise investments and purchases, throw so much good money after bad...
The question is asked in the manner of a cop, or an Auditor or Inspector General, who upon seeing so much loss on the books and so much money gone out the door, with just bad paper left in it's place, asks:
"Hey, did any of the SOBs who made these purchases, did they get any kick-backs or bribes or other fees legal or illegal, to throw so much good money after bad, and make someone on the receiving end fabulously wealthy, at the expense first of some sucker stockholder (Merrill AIG etc.), and then later on the back end, at the expense of the U.S Treasury and the American Taxpayer whose money is in that Treasury?"
It's a cop's question, which in this particular instance becomes an IG's question, or really a question for the Attorney General of the United States, and the President he works for, and the American People whose agents those men are.
It's a good question, and it has an answer.
It should be asked by cops, because it may involve something illegal.
And the wingnut projection continues. So did OJ also sell credit default swaps on Ron and Nicole?
Pulling out a 14 year old reference, and a lame one at that. Wow. Good to see the radical right are as irrelevant as ever.
So who sponsored the bill which killed the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933? Gramm (GOP), Leach (GOP) and Bliley (GOP). Even so, Democrats are the architects of the financial disaster because Jimmy Carter forced the banks to loan to poor people who couldn't pay. And what bill is that, you ask. Well, OK, there is no such bill. But that doesn't stop Ann from blaming Democrats like Barney Frank for obstructing bills in the House when the Republicans ran it, and never mind the minority party in the House has no such power. Being a conservative is enacting legislation deregulating the financial markets then blaming bankrupt home owners and powerless (at the time) Democrats for blocking nonexistent re-regulation bills they don't believe in.

Coulter believes that OJ is innocent?
Need a tissue? Typical radical righty...play the victim. Gutless wimps.
Annie, your statement is not good enough too be relevant. You better come up with a new gig or you will become more and more irrelevant. Just a hint: Annie, to get the attention you desire, you should get back too racism, hate and Nazi crap. OJ references are too old and tired. Not even funny.
Come on Annie, you are out of the loop. Belt out some real hate or you will lose you invites from Fox. I, for one, know you can do it. Annie, THINK CHANGE.
