practices

guess you kinda forgot that, didn't you? we have the economy NOW that
has been advocated by alan greenspan, milton friedman and the 'chicago
school' of ultra right wing free market fundies

how'd that work out?

15 years ago the financial sector was 17% of GDP. Now 63%.

yeah. aint conservative capitalism great?

Biggest product? Crooked billionaires and economic woe for the U.S.A.

What? The Dems are ramming it through as fast as they can so the folks
don't get wise to how they're kissing Wall Street ass.

how's that working out?

the teabaggers ARE republicans...they just want FEWER regulations on
wall street.
