Dude, you seriously need to do your research. All this banking mess started from Clinton! He's the one that was pushing these high risk loans that we all knew were going to default. Bush tried several times to have an oversight committee established for this very reason, but the Dems blocked it every time. Yes, he spent alot for the wars, but last time I checked we haven't been attacked again, plus Obama has spent more in the last few WEEKS than Bush did the entire time in office. This is the kind of stupidity that put Obama in office.
That's right j'man,... XXX is probably one of the clueless Bush hating masses who was so blinded by Obama's colour, they forgot to check if he was the most liberal senator, a true socialist, or even what that means for the country. Now the Government is going to be full of idiots with calculators poring over statistics to solve every social problem they can mine,... they will have the gov up your a$$.
Notice how the left didn't like the patriot act, but seem to have no problem with the gov taking control of the financial system! They are irrational dolts.
What caused this financial mess was not who ever was in office at the time, not that simple xxx,... the Democrats are the ones who forced banks to relax loan requirements, so that any idiot working at Walmart could buy a 200k house with no $$$ down proving they had the capacity to save. This is how liberal government operates, they are mush heads who can't think logically passed their idealistic mentality, and not bright enough to realize that gov cannot solve social problems and leave freedom intact.
Notice how often this dip**** Obama talks about "what's fair". 'What's fair', according to who (?), the people that pay the least in taxes (?), the people who have never employed anyone else, or created a business (?), or invented something. These are not the people responsible for the strength of an economy, ...they are the ones who brought it down.
This "what fair" idiot mentality is the same as the union mentality that brought down the US car manufactures. Mob rule, a mass of morons hi-jacking an otherwise naturally balanced norm. So now US car manufacturers have to pay some dolt $70 an hour to screw in a door handle.
Obama is going to bankrupt this nation. The value of the dollar is going to tank. Over $9.3 trillion in tens years added to the government debt,.. it cannot mathematically ever be paid off.
"Obama will call for increased oversight of 'executive pay at all banks, Wall Street firms and possibly other companies' as part of sweeping plan to 'overhaul financial regulation', NY TIMES reporting Sunday"
This has got to be unconstitutional. Can it get shot down by the supreme court? This is crazy.
You see how the left will enrage ignorant Americans over the AIG bonuses, in order to grab more control.
