In other news: Yes, people are still stupid
Okay so 31% blame Bush and Obama and Dem Congress get 30% blame.
well, you can’t fix stupid....
C’mon, rabs...just once I want to see you post something that criticizes a Democrat. Just do it. Just to humor me.
Ah, the power of propaganda. BTT.
Even though I’m still disturbed about the actions taken by the Bush Administration, many remind me that the actual cost of the program is at $100B, down from $700B.
I don’t think the government should be in the business of profit while they have the ability to make law.
This poll completely puts the lie to the fantasies some Freepers have about the “dying off” of the mainstream media’s influence.
Everyone in government deserves blame. The central bankers that enjoy a federal government-enforced monetary monopoly deserve blame.
The Austrians are correct. The current economic mess is a correction of the loose credit policies the government championed.
Will people realize that a command and control type monetary policy is no more viable for the long-term than Soviet style command and control of production of goods? Probably not. Mention even auditing the federal reserve, and they inexplicably call you a liberal.
Say you favor freedom over government mandates in money and they call you crazy.
Free Republic: where championing fredom in things that people don’t understand is considered kookery.
If it turned around, would he get credit?
Post about 20 anti democrat posts of yours. Let’s have some fun.
Yawn...so commie propaganda works, not news.
More importantly, why are the “men” on FR constantly sniveling about being victims of GWB and the Kenyan.
Why not step up for your wives and children and do something radical?
During the first 6 years of the Bush admin, the US had one of the strongest economies ever. The housing/finance debacle was created by Barney Frank and his minions. Bush weakness is that he, nor his staff, did not fight this like they should have. It’s common sense that you don’t give loans to people who can’t afford it and they went along with the plan.
W will not be on the ballot in November so the people will have to take it out on someone else.
Folks, the REAL blame for the economy can be summed up in two sentences from today’s Investor’s Business Daily PageA10:
“In 1996, President Clinton’s Department of Housing and Urban Development told Fannie and Freddie that 42% of their financing had to go to those with incomes below the median.”
“By 2000, HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo proudly unveiled new regulations to provide $2.4 trillion in mortgages for affordable housing for 28.1 million families.”
Pretty much says it all.
this is the MEME for the DNC november campaign.
They are going to keep pushing the change and teh MEME of blame GWBush.
In a completely unrelated story; today’s Rasmussen poll finds that 28% strongly APPROVE of the job Obama is doing as president...28% approval vs. 31% blame Bush...certainly within that well-known ‘margin of error’...
Pfft...nothing more than Politico - again - tossing rose petals at the feet of Obama and their liberal brethren.
I blame him too.... but that doesn’t excuse B.Hussein O’s making it much, much, much worse.
To be honest, I think at the end, they were working “together” to create a mess, which they did.
