The government this time has been active in trying to prevent an economic meltdown, precisely because officials worried about another Great Depression. Explaining why President Bush backed the bailout, spokeswoman Dana Perino said: "It was when Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson came to him and said we could be facing something worse than the Great Depression if we don't act, that the president realized that he had to put aside his instincts and focus on what he could do as president of the United States to help save this economy — not to help save Wall Street, not to help save any individual economy, but to help individual Americans all across the country of all economic stripes." The $700 billion bailout bill, and the fiscal stimulus checks that went out early this year, although controversial, show that the government is willing to intervene in the financial system to keep it afloat.

Like I said "Obama inherited Crap"

True, it was crap when he came in and he has made the crap pile twice as large with his policies and health care reform.  Time to use those shovels he has been talking about to clean up the manure piles instead of continuing to add by staying on the path of the status quo.

Didn't you read where President Bush had to put aside his instincts so the economy could be saved? Instincts? Bush? :rofl:

We had eight years of him using his instincts.. No wonder we almost ended up with an economy worse than the Great Depression..

Glad I Left... you know where I stand. To clarify:  CUT SPENDING AND MAKE TAXES THE SAME PERCENT FOR EVERYONE.

I don't care what party it is.

I agree with you.  Problem is neither party will offer their sacred cows.
Yes Republicans, that means Defense cuts
Yes Democrats, that means entitlement cuts

Raising taxes alone isn't going to cut it.  You could tax everyone at 100% and we still won't pay it off soon enough.

STOP SPENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And yet many of the people who actually made the housing crisis that significantly lead to the proverbial crap hitting the fan are still in congress today causing havoc writing more crap financial and health bills/laws.

Republicans have total control in Congress to pass job creating legislation that President Obama has submitted, they won't even bring'em up for a vote..

The party of NO is now the party that wants high unemployment so they can possibly get the White House back..

Politics before Country, thats Republicans.. Thats Treason..

Do you think that people choose a party and then form their opinions based on that political party? I certainly don't support democrats because I agree with everything they stand for, I support democrats because they support a lot of the causes I agree with, and they oppose other things that I oppose.

If there was a viable third party that were social liberals, fiscal conservatives and believed in the entire Constitution (including 2nd amendment) I'd switch parties in a heart beat.
