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 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

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?

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...
