“this bill will be a disaster if it passes all because obama excused himself with promoting a strong public option a long time ago......
again the only public option that will work without raising taxes will be to give those 50 and older who have been contributing the most to medicare all their working lives the option to go on medicare.....and with they and their employers contributing half the money to medicare of what they are now contributing to the private health insurers this will instantly make medicare solvent and allow placing an additional 20 million working poor on medicaid.....”

“Obama never promoted a Public Option during the campaign...that was pushed on him by the left (you all) during his Presidency. Unfortounate, but true.”

“Obama didn't just "excuse himself" on PO. He actually twice indicated to Congress that he would sign a HCR bill that didn't have a real PO in it.”

“clinton handed bush a 2.5 trillion dollar total debt with two straight years of budget surpluses and 19 a dollar a barrel oil....bush quickly added 2 trillion in debt for his tax cuts for the wealthy, added another 2 trillion to the debt for and counting for his wars, another trillion dollars in debt for his no strings attached bank/gambling house bailout, and another half trillion for his consumer spending stimulus bill and also his subsidies for oil/coal/gas corporations in his energy bill.....plus bush ran the price of oil up to 150 dollars a barrel with the resulting unemployment and crash of the mortgage market....nice guy....”

“the problem wasn't with home prices but with the rising cost of living due to bush's 150 dollar a barrel oil....those in the low end of the mortgage market had to make a decison to either pay their mortgages or pay for other life necessities....so they opted out of their mortgages...”
tralfas replied on Nov 19, 2009 at 22:00:48
“The problem was indeed home prices. They got too high, people wanted in on the action because paper fortunes were being made in real estate, so they borrowed too much to buy a home. It was too much leverage plain and simple. If the gas prices didn't get the over-leveraged, something else would have. When you are over leveraged, with no liquidity, bad things happen. We the people in our own decisions caused this mess, and we the people with our strong work ethic and ingenuity will solve this mess, unless we keep waiting for the government to bail us out.”

“correct...one of obama's early mistakes was not to try to control the flat-out gambling of oil futures.....oil prices contnue to rise according to wall street not dur to the old standby "supply and demand" but rather "confidence has returned to the hedge funding/derivative trading of oil futures"....”

“bush/cheney controlled the price of oil by first hoarding crude right after they were elected to destablize the long stable oil futures market....they filled up the salt mines in LA in 7 years when reagan said it would take 100 years...then with their illegal invasion of the oil rich middle east and the price of oil went up 5 bucks a barrel with every suicide bombing in iraq....do you think these oil men said gee if we invade the oil rich middle east this will destabilize oil prices and hurt the worlds economy so let's not invade????? so oil was 19 bucks a barrel when they were elected and these actions soon set the price soaring....you can look it up....”

“much of this world-wide economic disaster was caused by bush's 150 dollar a barrel oil as well as the failure of republican benchmark economic philosophies namely trickle down economics, hands off capitalism, and easy credit/gambling money for the big banks/investment houses.....”
