You know Deagle, who delivered us into the Great Recession?

Was that Obama? For the record it was another RINO, some folks told us we had to vote for.

What the hell is it going to take to wake you folks up?

I truest NO politicians - neither party and neither should you! It is up to the people to persuade those in office to do the right thing. That does mean that it matters little who we elect (yes, they all seem corrupt and probably are at some point), but if left up to the people, we can and will transform them!

Therefore, when the far left is pushing the buttons and getting results, you ought to revolt and bring in others that can be pushed in another direction - NOT give up and let things go to hell in a hand basket!

So... get off you high horse and get with the program! We have to do what is necessary to prevent the country from becoming a Socialist republic. If that does not bother you, then you should not be voting anyway!

If I sound mad, It is because of silly people like you!

FDR’s policies prolonged Depression by 7 years, UCLA economists calculate

http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/FDR-s-Policies-Prolonged-Depression-5409.aspx

Two UCLA economists say they have figured out why the Great Depression dragged on for almost 15 years, and they blame a suspect previously thought to be beyond reproach: President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

After scrutinizing Roosevelt’s record for four years, Harold L. Cole and Lee E. Ohanian conclude in a new study that New Deal policies signed into law 71 years ago thwarted economic recovery for seven long years.

“Why the Great Depression lasted so long has always been a great mystery, and because we never really knew the reason, we have always worried whether we would have another 10- to 15-year economic slump,” said Ohanian, vice chair of UCLA’s Department of Economics. “We found that a relapse isn’t likely unless lawmakers gum up a recovery with ill-conceived stimulus policies.”

“The fact that the Depression dragged on for years convinced generations of economists and policy-makers that capitalism could not be trusted to recover from depressions and that significant government intervention was required to achieve good outcomes,” Cole said. “Ironically, our work shows that the recovery would have been very rapid had the government not intervened.”

“You know Deagle, who delivered us into the Great Recession?”

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

I gave up on Bush, too, to the point where I left the party in 2007. However, Bush tried at least 18 times during his two terms to get the attention of the Congress to reform those two entities.

Barney Frank, et al said that they were doing a good job! Right up until six weeks before the housing collapse, and less than three months before the election.

It’s almost like it was planned. /s
