once was some cheerleader squad and the other a guy selling crappy
overpriced t-shirts and claiming the proceeds go to charity.
Next day, kids show up with the magazine subscription/ finance our trip to
wherever and later make a donation and get a "gift" of stale peanut brittle.
I already have a few charities that suck the life from my wallet:
electric company
water company
insurance company
mortgage company
Not to mention a teenage daughter and a wife that seem to get 90% off the
top.

You forgot the greediest buggers of them all, government.

For some like GM, Chrysler, Citi, BAC etc. I agree. These are the
corrupt ones that need bankruptcy to clean out the paracitical garbage.

I am a investor and capitalist, and I am dead against the corruption of
taxing people and corporations for dysfunctional welfare corporations.
The cost to all is too high in the end.

But you vote for it.... I didn't.

Are you sure you are an American? This Canadian immediately knew you
were BSing.

2007 democrat congress also marks the begining of this depression as
they chose to ignore interest rate invesions, essentially they created
artificially cheap debt...upsetting the balance between savings and debt.

Basically why I call this the "Great Depression of Government/Debt
2008-20xx".

Are you talking about both presidents *and* congresses?

In any case, the 'far right wing country' thing is changing. Left to their own
devices, the liberals will have us in the same shape as that country to our
south within a generation. Do you agree or disagree?
