Let's see, what precipitated this whole mess.

Democrats insisted we give home loans to minorities with verifiable records of being unable to manage their money. Banks, under Federal threat created gazillions of debt from deadbeats based upon the color of their skin, not their credit history or their actual income.

Democrats opposed drilling and refineries in the USA. We are completely at the mercy of (hostile) foreign nations for our energy.

Energy prices went up, and all we could do is pay $5 at the pump - Democrats still opposed opening up energy exploration offshore, mining coal and nuke.

People, faced with the decision to eat, buy gas or pay their house payment, were forced to spend their LIMITED resources on food, gas and electricity.

Home loans defaulted, and here we are.

So, aside from frivolous spending of over $1 Trillion; what has been ‘fixed’ to prevent this from happening again tomorrow?

There is a sentence near the end of George Orwell's 1984 that sums up the insidious nature of socialism very neatly

"if you want to know the future of mankind then imagine a boot stamping on your face again and again, forever."

Learn to Love big Brother - diversity is strength

.......Democrats insisted we give home loans to minorities .....

There were lots of loans to single women who were convinced that having it all included buying a house for which they couldn’t pay the electric bill and keep the mortgage current.

Please keep in mind... the Deomcrats took control of both houses of Congress in 2006. The economy was doing very well and unemployment was modest. The recession started in 2007. Obama was elected in 2008 so its a Democratic Party hat trick with a filibuster-proof majority and the economy is now firmly in the cr*pper. When Democrats win, the economy shrinks and the American people lose...

Wouldn't it be nice if Michael Steele and that merry band of idiots at the GOP could point this out to the American people?

Instead of watching Lindsey Grahm faun all over Sotomeyer we should be watching our GOP clowns screaming from the rooftops and blaming the Majority Democrats for everything under the sun... Nope. Ain't going to happen because the GOP is brain dead...
