“Some say that's coming anyway, largely due to yet more huge overleveraged debt that corporations manufactured for themselves, which has yet to come due, at which point they'll scream for more bailout money.”

“13 former Sen Phil Gramm - McCain close pal- is one of the worst crooks out there
Gramm pushed Enron loophole thru - and his lobbyist wife made 900 K off that deal !!
Enron workers crashed - 401 K ALL GONE That is the crooked corrupt DC system Obama
walked into- and is dealing with right now Obama is not perfect - but he did not create this toxic mess Reagan Bush W held power 1980-2008 most with GOP congress
Unethical toxic policies - right wing judges- long wars - wasted trillions

“Right, there is now some research that shows that insane bonuses don't give stockholders more value. Less. Deregulation and low taxes gives rich and corps the OK to gamble their insane $$$ like a craps table. If there were higher taxes like in Eisenhower's time on income over a couple of million, they would put money back into the business instead of giving to the tax man. That is how prosperity worked.That is the only "trickle down" that we get now--the supply side "tinkle on" us. By the way, the Clinton years CREATED 22 million jobs--Bush--9 million. Nuf said.”

“I fear we will succumb to the same old GOP tricks - fear mongering- lies- Cheney is
the MASTER OF USING FEAR TO MANIPULATE US. It worked for Iraq. If we put GOP back in power- we will go back to 1980-2008 Reagan Bush W Reign of toxic policies- long mismanaged wars- massive cuts - wages down or flat for working folks PLEASE THINK CRITICALLY

“You also need to keep an eye on many of the Democrats in Washington right now, who work to support the corporate structure--not just Blue Dogs, but some others as well. Much of current Democratic strategy is designed to turn industry's favor largely towards the Democratic party, and not necessarily for our own good, unless they have some grand strategy not yet revealed, to embrace corporates in order to wrestle them to the ground and make them behave. This is an idealistic view, and actually not much supported by observation--and even if true, it's a process that can be easily co-opted by people who know how--so like I say, keep an eye on this too.”

“We middle class - have been in a steady decline from Reagan 1981- Bush 2008
yes It Began slowly - UNnoticed- began with passing Reagan & pal- Don Regans toxic deregulation policy. in 1981 . Over time that combined with W 's 2 long mismanaged wars-massive trillions - fat act cuts given by Bush and Reagan. Reagan Bush W picks of
right wing judges changed our claws to greatly favor powerful elites that now run everything.
This long slow period of decline - ate away - bit by bit- at the very foundation of our economy
untill it crashed under the weight of it. Reagan Bush Alan Greenspan - Titans of Wall St -Robt Rubin Sommers & accomplices all allowed it happen. fact - Prior to 1981 we had safe guards in place to prevent this massive Abuse of power by Reagan and Bush Wall St Greenspan

“2008 and 2009 were really painful - We all lived 28 yrs under Reagan Bush toxic policies that slowly ate away at the very foundation of our economy - and led to Global meltdown .
TARP in Fall 2008 Then came Obama Stimulous. The health care drama went on forever-
still does . I listen to Ed show on MSNBC Ed has worked passionately for real health reform .
But now I think we must support this 'flawed' Obama bill - if not- the greedy war mongering-
money grubbing GOP will win even more seats in 2010 . We must NOT let that happen
Why ? Not because I love Obama - NO Its in our own best interests- IN THE LONG RUN.
Medicare improved over time- GOP fought that too CALLED IT SOCIALISM- GOV'T TAKEOVER
THEY NEVER CHANGE SAME OLD CRAP YEAR AFTER YEAR
Please folks - think back about where Reagan Bush & W 's LONG REIGN of power -
1980-2008 led us. These are facts Led us to 2 Long badly mismanaged wars-
many wasted trillions - tens of 1000 's of lives lost - kids lost parents - massive fat cat tax cuts- even to those who sent jobs overseas - undermining working class- our wages down or flat last decade-
Are we better off now than 8 yrs ago ??? yes Clinton made mistakes- but he also left
W a huge surplus and millions of new jobs. Folks Facts do not lie - GOP DOES”

“hglind front person ? You fell for the GOP tactics of - blame it all on Obama Milloions like you -spread 1.2 truths and misinformation to confuse folks. Its sad .
FACt- Obama took on a global disaster .not made by him. super Powerful Wall ST NOT made by him- 2 long mismanaged wars NOT made by Obama. .
Reagan Bush W long REIGN 1980-2008 of toxic policies- Unlimited access to fat cats Wall
St - bankers - deregulation legalized fraud- and unethical practices- made predatory lending possible. W finished us off with 2 long mismanaged wars- trillions wasted on fat cat cuts- undermining working folks- wages down - flat all 8 yrs- giving cuts to Co who sent jobs over seas. Reagan Bush judge picks changed laws to favor the top even more . Example:
Law now says Corporations are considered to be 'persons' with same rights as individuals !
GOP has given more wealth to the top than any president in our lifetimes. Please stop spreading Un truths”

“Fact is that Larry Summers, who was the Treasury Secretary under President Clinton pushed for further deregulation than occurred under Reagan's beginning of it. It came at the end of Clinton's term and isn't it possible that the elimination of Glass Steagull which had been in effect since the Great Depression was an invitation to creativity on Wall Street and that the 8 years of President George W. with Wall Streeters sitting in the Treasury Secretary position gave them a free for all of building their net worth? Isn't it comforting to know that President Obama continues that tradition by putting Summers, who had a hand in creating the mess, along with Giethner, who didn't know he was suppose to regulate Wall Street when he was the New York Federal Reserve President and Bernanke who was Geithner's boss and didn't know he didn't know what his job was as NY Fed President running the further manipulation of Main Street?
Reich was in the Clinton Administration too so what did he think of Summers work at that time?”

“GOP has busted labor unions for so many yrs- since they want very cheap labor for fat cats
Reagans total amnesty for illegals did the same thing VERY CHEAP LABOR
THATS why foreign auto plants set up business in Southern US - Repub states-
NO labor unions there . IT always gets BACK to POWER AND MONEY
Way before Obama got in - our DC reps were bought and paid for .
. Reagan Bush reign & policies 1980-2008 gave them massive access to the corridors of power
in DC Reagan Bush right wing judges made laws to favor the top even more than before
Folks are so ill informed I was too till I researched- read - checked facts
If we vote GOP back into power- we will get more of the same- OIL and war profiteering -
long mismanaged wars- trillions more to fat cats - our wages down or flat - toxic policies that
damaged average American workers .”

“What you say is true. It is, however the failure of Obama and the Democrats to bring on real reform when it is clearly indicated and it is what Obama campaigned on/promised that is e most disturbing. Many have pointed out that we need reform on the order of what FDR did in the 30's to recover and it just is not happening now. For me all of this is personal. I needed work yesterday and I have at least four friends who need more substantial work to more than barely get by.”

“Kim Sure folks are mad at both parties - and want REAL REFORM
But to be fair- WE must also acknowledge WHO has had most of the power from
1980-2008 It was Reagan Bush W many with a GOP congress. W had that 2000-2006.
Only 1 DEM Pres in 28 yrs . and he did NOT lie us into 2 long wars- lead us to meltdown-
or give trillions to fat cat cuts. Clinton made mistakes- but left millions of new jobs
and a huge surplus- W spent that in 5 minute. I just want us to look at facts-
not look thru the lens of our party loyalty. I am no t loyal to ANY party

“54 Exactly
Wall St 'bounced' back because taxpayers cushioned any losses they might have.had.
We must all undertstand that by the time Obama took over this toxic meltdown in Jan 2009-
mostly created - by Reagan Bush 1980-2008 Deregulation- lies- long wars- huge tax cuts. Drastic measures HAD to be taken -or we would have a LONG DEEP DEPRESSION. .
As bad as this is- and its very bad- it could have been worse- Rush FOX know that as well-
but will NOT admit it Their ONLY agenda is to help GOP GET BACK IN POWER- ANY WAY THEY CAN DO THAT with lies-smears - using Obama as a scape goat- even inciting violence. Cheney is estatic over the Xmas almost bombing- gives him more ammo to use against Obama
But YES our security needs to be beefed up- NO doubt.”

“If they are smart enough to become super-rich, they may be able to control you better than you do yourself. For example, they would have told you not to sign up for those sub-prime mortgage knowing that if you default, their tax money will be going into paying for it. The super-rich may also tell you to cut down on those unhealthy fast-food that end up costing them higher insurance premium. Listen to the rich, they are rich and you are poor for a reason.”
