“whats sad is the good times haven’t produced any lately either.”

During the good times our “leaders” came up with the insane policies that led to the present disaster which they now blame solely on the victim, George W. Bush.

We have to ask if our ponzi scheme leaders are any different than one Mr. Madoff?

They really are different! They waste far more money and they lie more!

“George Bush, our Congress and Alan Greenspan, however, refused to accept their responsibility in 2000 and 2001 for the economic policies of this nation and its banking regulators that led to the final blow-off top in the Internet Bubble.”

The article is very interesting but the line above sort of spoils it. George Bush didn’t take office until late January of 2001 yet they list his name first when counting those who screwed up in 2000 and 2001. Now they are blaming him retroactively!

The world's going to be destroyed in 2012 anyway. Why worry?
