This never would have happened if we had doubled all our tariffs. LOL!

Peter Wallison, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s chief accountant ................”It is a classic case of socializing the risk while privatizing the profit”......That is the clearest, most understandable explanation I have heard yet. McCain and Palin should continuously beat the Democrats over the head with that phrase. It is easy for every voter to understand how the few got the profit, while the masses got the risk and are now left to pay the bills.

I’m curious why we aren’t impeaching senators....it would seem that this behavior demonstrated a tremendous loss of trust amongst Americans (now that the fog has lifted).

"...while Democrats point fingers between now and November 4: Senator John McCain was one of the three cosponsors of S.190, the bill that would have averted this mess."

OK, that's a reasonable answer to the 'what-next' question.   Not a cure all but at least a step in the right direction.
