As opposed to what, McCain?
I got news for you: the current GOP administration increased our unfunded liabilities with Part D Medicare, more spending on more useless crap (billions for nonsense like AIDS in Africa) than we saw out of any POTUS before.
McCain has his lips firmly affixed to the posteriors of the DC press corps - and would have been only moreso if he had been elected.
Given the two choices we had in this election, here’s a newsflash for you: you were going to get screwed, either way you look at it. The only difference was that one of the two was promising to buy you dinner first. Just promising.
There wasn’t even evidence that he had actually made reservations.
mccain voted against medicare part D. He actually tried to filibuster it
Agreed.
I get so tired of these “The financial problems are Obama’s fault” replies, I could choke.
I AIN’T defending Obama.
But he doesn’t have the power to cause or prevent the problems - he was basically a freakin bystander.
We have almost three decades of loose credit. We have a real estate market that was inflated beyond 95% of Americans ability to pay. There are people out there who’s tropical fish got credit card applications in the mail. Congress will buy off anyone - ANYONE - to get the votes to get reelected to get the votes to get reelected to get the votes to get yada yada same old over and over.
The banks are proving themselves to have more thieves working for them that ever walk in the door - some poor jerk can walk in a bank and steal a grand and spend the rest of his life in lockdown, but some dude with a suit and a tie can STEAL BILLIONS and never even go to court, much less get tasered and arrested.
It’s a mess. And it all came from selling notes. Hopes and wished and greedy dreams instead of due diligence.
Maybe - Just maybe - if we lose our butts in the whole thing, but the thing we find and get back is basic honesty and fairness and integrity, it will be worth it.
