treated the middle class, and want that repeated. that's what would
have happened if we didnt bail out the banks.

Why do you suddenly trust the same wall street bankers you have been
trashing for months?

?? where did i say i trust them? they simply left us no choice. look
at what happened to the markets after lehman bros collapsed.

that doesnt mean we have to CONTINUE to trust them like the right wing
says.

Why do you care about the markets, you don't have any stocks.

ever hear of a 401K?

The fact
is they did let Lehman fail and the world didn't end.

bull****. it came close. the liquidity crisis was real....but you
never notice when you DONT fall off a cliff

If you didn't
have the huge bailout debts hanging over the companies that did get
bailed out, maybe they would be spreading capital around where it
would create jobs instead of using it to pay back the government.

ah. and how would this have worked for the companies that DIDNT get
the bailout when AIG went under? the world's largest insurance
provider out of business...think that would have had an effect?

The real underlying problem for your middle class is still that we
don't make anything here, at least not enough to employ the 16,000,000
people who can't find a job.

that's because the right wing has spent the last 40 years destroying
the middle class. it worked.

nope. he's also created 'death panels' for banks to kill them if they
start to get in trouble

"Too big to fail" is still there.

too sophisticated for you, it seems

I haven't heard any financial analysts who thinks they fixed to big to
fail or any of the other fundamental problems.

and i have.

We did put some US
banks at a disadvantage compared to foreign banks that may be doing
business in the same building in lower Manhattan.

great. let them take the risk the next time.

They are throwing money at the people they think will take over the
congress. Why bribe a loser?

kind of tells you who ****ed them off, doesn't it?

and it aint the GOP

****ed who off? It seems the voters are the ones ****ed off and that
is why the Dems are going to lose the house, maybe the senate.
Why would the lobbyists want to bribe someone who will be going home
in January?

know who the biggest spender in the next election is?

the US chamber of commerce. they aint pro union and they aint pro
middle class.
