ExACTLY WHAT WE NEED IS A LIGHT SHINED ON THIS WHOLE MESS!
If we go FAST ENOUGH, than very bad people escape the responsibility they have for this financial mess.
We will survive a meltdown.
We will.
But we will never survive the socialism that comes with such an intrusion into the marketplace by government.
When a BUSINESS fails.....it FAILS!
Period.
When congress people FAIL to perform oversight on two HUGE government designed projects like FANNIE MAE and FREDDIE MAC...and they FAIL and start this domino effect...then the CONGRESS people RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSIGHT need to be NAMED and IMPEACHED. PERIOD. Their retirements taken and their lights turned off.
AMEN!
Recall during the debate Friday night, at the very beginning moderator Leher was asking for the candidates’ opinions regarding the financial `crisis’, and he was doing everything short of jumping on stage, putting his arms around their heads and doing a `Moe’ on them (heads together like coconuts). And yet both obstinately refused to respond to the call of his question.
If this matter is so urgent—and both had just emerged from fighting in the WH trench—why weren’t they detailing to voters what they saw, read and heard, and telling us what they thought should be done, and when and why . . . I think it’s one of two things: neither wanted to go on the record because they don’t know what it means or (more ominously) because they do know. Like a big cow-pie they both side-stepped this issue that the doom-sayers say presages an (drumroll) economic Apocalypse.
Why is that?
