Dems just as corrupt as Repubs. It's easy to blame the party of "No" but the fact is Dems had and still have a majority plus the executive. Were the Dems willing to offend financial and insurance interests we likely would have gotten effective healthcare and financial reform rather than the window dressing we ended up with.Osohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513535195785731541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-49871063584952099942010-07-18T14:11:59.112-06:002010-07-18T14:11:59.112-06:00I've been saying all along that if it came dow...I've been saying all along that if it came down to it, BP would be bailed out by the European Union. <br /><br /> With each new instance of government being owned by corporations though, I now think the good USA will be a major contributor to BP's bailout.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Grassroots politics is dead.

And much of the original 350 billion has been returned (some of it with interest) to the government. To say that this legislation was a partisan enterprise is ludicrous......Just for the record, Goldman Sachs political contributions over the past 20 years have been totally nonpartisan, too (64% to 36%, in favor of the DEMOCRATS).

The savings on federal wages will not be refunded to anyone, it just goes back in the pot. End result is the deficit gets bigger.<br /><br />The only way to lessen the deficit is grow our way out of it. The private sector isn't spending, so it must be fiscal policy that makes up demand until at some point people wish to consume again.<br /><br />Hell if someone who oughtta be deported to Baja California like me can see that, why can't our politicians ?Osohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513535195785731541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-89210044854791339192010-07-17T14:30:03.788-06:002010-07-17T14:30:03.788-06:00If you want proof that truth and facts don't m...If you want proof that truth and facts don't matter just look at the number of people that vote republicans.
