I'm not sure what the raving lunatic means by "having never held a real job..." Being a lawyer is not a real job? When did he actually practice law? Being a teacher of constitutional law is not a real job? Maybe, but that's left to interpretation. Being a community organizer is not a real job? Nothing great about that, but then again Lennin was a community organizer so I might give him some points there. Being a U.S. Senator is not a real job? The way he was in my state, being on the campaign trail for POTUS at least 3 of his 4 years as senator? NO! Is being in the military a real job? YES! |

You need to study the great depression and the effects of the New Deal. The New Deal did nothing to stimulate the economy only prolong the misery until WWII. I have studied, and so have countless others, and that's the point. FDR was flying blind during the Great Depression. We, on the other hand, have 70 years of study to base our decisions on. Even the liberal PBS reporters think the stimulus plan will do nothing to create permanent jobs to get the economy out the recession. This recession was caused by the clinton "loans for everyone" program. Until those loans are purged from the system the economy will not truly recover. It is interesting to watch the liberals try to spin the issue to a republican failure. I saw one article yesterday where 10 paragraphs of facts of what was working to improve the economy and one sentence that said the "proponents: of the stimulus package "thought" it would improve the economy. The headlines stated the stimulus package would get the economy out of the recession, absolutely not what the bulk of the article said. Horse ****, you haven't heard me blame the Republicans for this economic mess, and, unlike you, I don't blame Clinton. You may want to do a little studying yourself. There's a big difference between loans pushed by the Community Reinvestment Act, and sub-prime loans. CRA related lending isn't the problem. http://www.federalreserve.gov/boardd...craloansurvey/ Sub-prime loans are, or more to the point, derivatives of sub-prime loans. The heart of this economic collapse was greedy, incompetent businessmen. When Lehman Brothers leveraged themselves over 33 to 1, thinks get a little dicey when things go south. Compound that with a herd mentality, and you get where we are. The government didn't do this, but, hopefully, the government can get us out of this. |
