Let’s see: When there is infrastructure done in YOUR state it “was long overdue”; but, if it’s done someone else’s state, “it’s pork !”

I gather you believe the events of 2001-2008 had no effect on the market. (That wasn’t what I saw - and I watch Fox News a lot.)

People in “the Market” had been ripping off investors,and pretending bad mortgages (encouraged by both parties) had intrinsic value-——(because they had been “bundled” - which is about like saying dog turds have value once they have been wrapped in something.)

If saying this makes one of us a “fricking idiot” ,then so be it.

So in your opinion, the market freefall since the election of Obama in November of 2008 is a sign of Obama’s success?

Yes, of course the previous years of GOVERNMENT involvement and greed by those living beyond their means, too stupid to hire a lawyer to read a contract they apparently never read, as well as the “bankers”, some forced to hand out bad loans, deserve blame. Using these government sanctioned loans and creating derivative hell of course needs a painful correction (Not from the government, which created this problem by forcing the action and looking the other way).

But if you think this past month has not added to the problem, in fact prevents the correction, in that the government has declared total war on the free market, then you are indeed a “fricking idiot”.

Add to the fact you use only the 2001-2008 dates, cements the “fricking idiot” label. You won’t get kudos of Bush out of me but you also won’t get the blame on him either.

Forgot about this whiny trollish part. You see, I believe in the 10th Amendment. It is not there to serve as a place-mark to distinguish 11 from 9 or vice versa. There are certain spending guidelines that should be followed as well as, division of powers on who exactly is responsible for what. Also, several creators, one being James Madison even wrote instructions on the "contract".

What kind of infrastructure are you talking about anyway Obama/dem/Specter/lover of current Maine senators, whore (From justifying the $3 trillion of not just "infrastructure" you fricking idiot)? You actually think this will stimulate the economy while not ushering in deflation or inflation and huge tax increases? Is your ire only reserved for the "bankers", who ever was ruining the show from 2001-2008 (Which was not just one person) and not for the house flippers, the people living beyond their means, the feel good hit of low income individuals owning more home then they should and the people who blocked reform?
