Guess everybody feels ok about socialism when a Republican does it.

So much for "conservatism's" libertarian streak.

1 - 2 trillion (trillion!) dollars going to corporations who blew it.  Corporations who handed out money willy nil hoping to rake it all in but relying on the fact that they knew that (once again!) the federal government would bail them just like they've always done.

Gone are the salad days of being able to say that the GOP is the party of "grown ups" who know how to manage money.  Oh those halcyon days of boot-strapism, of let the market sort itself out.  Now we come to the reality that the GOP is the party that knows how to start depressions through massive DE-regulation.

How do we know this?  For if Bush's boy at the Federal Reserve hadn't ponied up the dough, we'd be watching Wall Street rats jumping out of windows.

If only Bush had stood his ground like a man, sticking to his principles and letting the cards fall where they may, we'd all be living in a reality instead of this over-inflated dream world where the market is back over 11,000 and everything's all good.   :'( No, really, nothing's wrong at all.  We always whistle past this graveyard!

The junkies got their fix.  And so, we sail along till the next shoe drops. 

Nice of Bush to spend his legacy in such a petty, little bitch manner, huh?  Remember how outraged you guys were when you were fed the lie that the Clintons ripped W keys off keyboards and tore up the White House before they left it to the Bushes?  I'm sure we won't hear a peep out of you when the Obamas go in to find how the Bushes completely wrecked our nation and nearly shattered democracy as a whole.

What is Obama's position on the federal intervention in teh economy?

Do you know?

For or against?

Or somewhere strategically nuanced in between?

You have a point there.
