Thanked: 792
As I read your post I began to see the bones of Marcus Tullius Cicero hanging over the entrance to the Roman senate.
[quote=AFDavis11;327565]You might check out these links and rethink your position on who is responsible:A lot of stuff in that stimulus package doesn't make much sense. Do we thank the Republicans for the destruction of our economy then? Or do we blame the people that are trying to fix it?
Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending - New York Times
YouTube - Timeline shows Bush, McCain warning Dems of financial and housing crisis; meltdown
I can only think of 2 possibilities as to why the Dems in power did what they did: 1) they lost themselves in idealism, so, acted irresponsible with the best of intentions or 2) they wanted a collapsed or depressed economy so that they can have a little power grab as they appear to be having now, you know, as Rom Emmanuel says "Never let a crisis go to waste! In other words use it to get things done that you can't get done under ordinary circumstances."
there is another article in The Nation in 1995 on this subject the article is entitled "The Golden Fleece". if anyone can provide a link I would appreciate it.
Socialism has a nasty habit of bringing everyone down to the lowest common denominator while sound conservative and free market principles tends to allow the individual to reach to their highest potential!We are now a much more Socialist government. Is that bad?
I prefer the freedom to do my best for me and my family rather than the "one size fits all" straight jacket of government control! Government has its place but it should be minimal.
This is why our friends to the north are coming over in droves for our medical care in the states I bet. I understand that there is an 18 month waiting list to get an MRI or a catscan done.I was reading a great article in this weeks Newsweek about how we are all now Socialists . . . its a great read and there is a neat article about how much better run Canada is. As XMan so correctly mentions the details are important.
Canada can afford to give people health care because it costs so much less to provide healthcare in Canada.
And our economy seems to be getting worse every time President Obama opens his mouth to tell us how terrible our economy is and how it will only get worse! He is a leader alright It appears that he is leading us deeper and deeper into recession. there are ways that a leader can convey needed information without panicking a whole country. Bush did something similar as Obama at the beginning of these bail outs.Canada is thriving in this economic downturn as well (according to Newsweek).
