Yeah Obama really changed things didn't he.

Well, he's started to make a difference compared to Bush's laissez faire
capitalistic approach.

How is that? The bailout went to the same fat cats Bush was helping.
Financial regulation left the big banks in charge and did very little
to affect the things that caused the melt down.

So, it would be Obama's fault that the Republicans blocked more meaningful
regulation? They've done nothing but say no to everything and can't come up
with anything that's actually viable. What's your solution.... let the whole
world financial system collapse?

The "insurance reform" is only going to make big pharma, the hospital
conglomerates and the insurance companies richer.

According to you. Feel free to give up all the benefits, but I think that
most people are happy to take them, including the 30+ million who are now or
will shortly be insured.

I still have not heard anyone here answer the question, what is your
2011 insurance bill going to be?

You truly are a simpleton. Why should anyone give up the benefits they were forced to pay for in advance?

Personally, I would address the issue she brings up. So far this "30
million who are now or will shortly be insured" is still just a
harrytale... There is no evidence it will actually happen, and if we
are lucky enough it won't in the current form...

I agree... it won't happen if the Republicans/Tea Baggers have their way.
They would repeal all social reforms.

the rich are doing ok. agree more.

you right wingers just dont get it, do yo? you LOVED the way 1929
treated the middle class, and want that repeated. that's what would
have happened if we didnt bail out the banks.

BUT...NDP is right...he's re-regulated proprietary trading and
tightened capital requirements on banks...

Financial regulation left the big banks in charge and did very little
to affect the things that caused the melt down.

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

gee i guess that's why 'politico' is reporting lobbyists for the
insurance companies are giving huge sums to the GOP

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.

"Too big to fail" is still there.

too sophisticated for you, it seems

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

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

"Too big to fail" is still there.

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?

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.

I do know two young 18-24 year olds who have indicated that they have
either lost in one case, or will be losing in another their coverage
because of changes to their parents health care plans, because of the
new laws. I don't have too many details, but one of the kids already
sold his bike, had his last ride around Labor day.

Like you said, a bunch of health care insurance suits sat in a back room
and wrote the plan, everybody knows it, how can Americans go on as if
that never happened?
