It's behind the mess we have on Wall Street and until he flip-flopped earlier this week, it was part of the McCain Doctrine. Also behind Bill Clinton in 1999. There's enough blame to spread around to virtually everybody. While there is plenty of blame, most of it should be layed off against the Republicans, and a lot of that blame should be heaped upon Phil Gramm and his economic acolyte John McCain. It is the Republicans who abhor government regulation, although it has been interesting this week to watch the gang that works so hard to privatize profit work at least as hard to socialize loss. It's kind of funny to be blaming Bill Clinton. Bush has been president for almost eight years, and for six of those years his party controlled congress. During Bush's presidency, there have been plenty of signs the deregulated financial sector was in deep doo-doo and heading for a hard fall. Bush is the head of state. He did nothing. I suspect as the thinking part of the electorate realizes this, the tight polls that at the moment favor McCain will shift. As an aside, I find it fascinating that neither McCain nor Palin will "meet the press" at an open press conference. I suspect it is because McCain doesn't know enough about the economy and how it works to say anything unprompted that won't bite him in the ass. As for Palin, she really is turning out to be a cipher. Holy crap. You sure run a long time on a nickel. Eisboch You're a funny guy. You bitch and moan if you think I am getting personal, and you bitch and moan if I give you a non-personal, reasoned response to one of your posts or responses. |
