202 456 1111 One good guy is Sen Sanders www.bernie.org
It will take years to try and dig out- or UNDO 30 yrs of toxic polices led by Reagan and Bush
As for Clinton he trusted Greenspan and cronies- too much who's bad advice led to
NAFTA - and the signing Glass Segall Very Bad decisions But it enriched the top- thats
all they cared about Ross Perot was So right ' That giant sucking sounds of jobs going south '
and now go to China . This was all a well planned ' scam ' it worked great for them-
but almost sank us into a deep 1929 depression That why Obama did the stimulous pkg

“Lasttep I love your post - so direct and so correct Reading History books- using critical thinking skills- healthy skepticism - fact checking all have been lost. Millions of us have became followers or ditto heads- not questioning the agenda of those spreading these ' stories' . Now we get ' news ' from biased fat cats like Limbaugh - or from Fox' s Hannity and Beck. Yes THIS IS A WAR- WE THE PEOPLE vs POWER BROKERS / RULING CLASS
. WHO WERE' ' GIVEN ' ALMOST TOTAL OVER US 1980-2008 Reagan -Bush 's toxic deregulation policy that took safe guards we had in place- to prevent this incredible abuse of power. 2. Reagan's massive tax cuts to the top - down to 30 % from from 70 % or more. That's what they paid during Nixon- Kennedy - Eisenhower years - no one complained and still did well. .3. W pushed this policy even further- with loads of help from Alan Greenspan & Robt Rubin 's followers most from Goldman Sachs 4. W added 2 long running wars - one lied into- one badly mismanaged for 7 long yrs. 5. W gave trillions in cuts to fat cats . -OUR wages were down or flat last decade 4. Cheney / GOP pulled off a global SCAM UNLIKE WE HAVE SEEN IN OUR LIFE TIMES. THE GOP found the perfect FALL GUY for all their screw ups- OBAMA”

“lars I DID that Thanks We must ALL stop laying down and taking this absue of power - we must fight back any way we can - these greedy power * money hungry companies were given so much more power by Reagan Bush Greenspan - the Robt Rubin - Summers Goldman
trainees - with their toxic polices and lack of honest leadership. They deregulated the banksters. that are now so Brazen- in their intense disregard - disrespect for working Americans. We are simply a fly i n the ointment- to be swatted away . NYC bankers are getting permission to carry guns- that's how much they are hated . But we put these crooked- greedy super rich huge oil men- into power- year after year . Next time- we must read-think critically - do not but what biased radio talkers- FOX who spews hate smears- they are making
billions off their crusade to CRUSH - OVER TAKE OVER THROW THIS PRESIDENT
ANY WAY THEY CAN THESE RUTHLESS - FOLKS WHO WILL STOP
AT NOTHING FYI - B o A referred to regular folks in a ' private ' memo as
PEASANTS I kid you not. I use local banks- credit unions
We can make them listen if enough of us ACT .”

“ADONAi THATS CORRECT WE put these lying greedy a holes into power
from 1980-2008 Reagan Bush Greenspan & friends legacy of toxic policies that put us on
path to global collaspe- we gave 2 huge oil men all this power- even with Bush Cheneys
cozy ties to OPEC Saudi's- and Halliburton All made billions off lives of our troops . war profiteering of the worst kind They lied us into Iraq - a country of huge oil reserves- our troops went to iraq for OIL. Conflict of Interest ? You betcha Obama is now the FAll GUY for Reagan Bush Cheneys
lies- cowardice- fear tactics- screwing working folks- wages down- flat last decade-
The perfect storm that led to global disaster. So Adonai I ask you-
did you voice YOUR outrage while Bush Cheny Rumsfeld- raped America - sent troops to their deaths- based on lies- and lust for more OIL ? Obama has made mistakes- but did not

“lady Dem I recall when Medicaire was proposed- the GOP & Reagan demonized it- called it
Socialism- gov't takeover same old BS we hear now. Medicare was improved over time
So Maybe this ' flawed ' reform bill - is just a first step in a long road to healing our country
after 29 yrs of Reagan Bush toxic ' leadership' and policies .
If Obama's loses on this bill- the ruthless greedy GOP will win more seats in 2010 .
. We can not ALLOW THAT T O HAPPEN SIMPLY Recall what they led us to 1980-2008 DISASTER”

“YES Repubs & Blue dogs are our biggest problems - Obama can still get this done with
reconciliation - just as Repubs - Bush did when they PUSHED HIS HUGE TAX CUTS THROUGH Obama is a good man- but he is too ' nice' Repubs do not respect nice. They are ruthless - money hungry - we saw that with Reagan - Bush 1980-2008 toxic policies- 2 wars - lied into or mismanaged for 7 long yrs. That forced us to borrow trillions from China. W left Obama a 1.4 trillion deficit. so O had few options. Obama has to be another FDR
NOT a Bill Clinton - who caved to GOP congress too much”
