BUT LIBERALS don't DEAL IN FACTS! and I am back folks! I had a nice Vacation thanks to some cry babies!
Social Spending and deregulation bit us in the azz. Time for us to hand a bill to the UN and World Bank for our services! We need to recoup some of our spending like fighting Libya for the UN! |

These are the numbers that we have been screaming about ever since George W caused our financial meltdown. We're screaming now because Conservatives want to make it even worse. Haven't they done enough to destroy our economy already?

I am not against wealth, I am however against wealthy people power mongering and taking over our government! Likewise wealthy people should pay fair taxes BUT we should not rape their wallets because they have more either! That is not fair. But that isn't how liberals think. They think becasue you got more they should get more without having to put the effort into getting more. "Why should pigs work when you can get the other animals to do it for nothing?"
People who have the philosophy that the world owes them a living just piss me off. Those are the first azzholes I want to send off to war and put them right in harm's way! If they survive then they might learn about the REAL nature of life and why we are not the superior species on this planet! |

Haven't they done enough to destroy our economy already? Pretty sure republicans where the minority in the presidents first 2 years. Yea blame everything on republicans. When republicans have the presidency and stuff goes wrong its the presidents fault but when its a dem president and things get worse its the republicans fault. I bet if we had a dem president and only 1 republican in the house and senate and things were going bad they would blame that 1 person. |

Haven't they done enough to destroy our economy already? W didn't cause the financial meltdown, he just didn't do anything to stop it! 1932 FDR signed a bill into law that created the FDIC and forbade banks from gambling with depositors money, by doing this he assured people that if you put money into banks anything should happen the FDIC will kick in and reimburse everyone as the federal government now insures your deposits. Fast forward to 1999, Bill Clinton is in office and he signed a bill into law written by the banking industry that took those handcuffs off the banks and allowed them to come up with schemes such as sub prime mortgages. Clinton is to blame for this mess, not W! Doesn't surprise me that Hussein blames everything on W because he himself is an epic failure anymore than his worshipers. |

No, your history is egregiously edited. Phil Gram was responsible for the Gram-Leach-Blily Act that was slipped into the renewal of the Community Reinvestment at the last minute. Clinton and the Democrats wanted to CRA to be passed and accepted the compromise. All Republican. All Conservative.
W is absolutely to blame because he knew what the banks were doing with their toxic loan programs (thanks to Phil Gram) all through the 2000s and only bragged about how well the stock market was doing. Many liberals were screaming about what they knew was going to happen, but apparently Conservatives were too busy making up excuses why it wan't going to be their fault. Remeber McCain during his campaign? "The fundamentals of the economy are sound!" Ignorant old buffoon. Read your history. |

Who was the president that signed it hmm hmmmm...that's right, Bill Clinton! |

Clinton could have vetoed that bill but he didn't because the world bank has been courtin' Hillary and he didn't want to screw up her chances with becoming head the largest banking firm in the world. |

So what? It doesn't change the fact that the financial melt-down was all Republican.

I just tremembered something fascinating about Phil Gramm (of Gramm-Leach-Blily) He is married to Wendy Gramm.
n her role at the Mercatus Center, Gramm generally calls for deregulation of the energy industry. Previously, Gramm held several positions in the Reagan Administration, including heading the Commodity Futures Trading Commission from 1988 to 1993. After a lobbying campaign from Enron, the CFTC exempted it from regulation in trading of energy derivatives. Subsequently, Gramm resigned from the CFTC and took a seat on the Enron Board of Directors and served on its Audit Committee. While on the board of directors she received donations from Enron to support the Mercatus Center. After the Enron scandal, Gramm and the other directors of the energy company were named in several investor lawsuits, many of which have been settled. In particular, Gramm and other Enron directors agreed to a $168 million dollar settlement in a suit led by the University of California. As part of that settlement, the directors agreed to collectively pay $13 million to settle claims of insider trading. The remainder of the settlement was to be paid by insurance. [urlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendy_Lee_Gramm The dopey Dems should have known better than to let these criminals get anywhere near the Community Reininvestment Act |

Of course everyone involved shrugged her off as her being a silly woman...too much $$$$ on their minds to stop and think for a minute. |

The OP information was done in January of 2009. I don't even think Obama was in office yet. The debt hit 14 trillion in Jan of this year which means the data is, at most, a few months old. It is being compared to January of '09 when Obama took office. |

The OP information was done in January of 2009. I don't even think Obama was in office yet. that could be the point, ya think? the first number, "JANUARY OF 1009", represents things as the were before obama was in office. the second number, "TODAY", represents the things as they are now, two years after he took office. indeed there has been change. |

That's the point that Conservatives want so desparately to make. Unfortunately. Things don't work that way.
The Republican Depression caused it all. Obama is digging us out. That is a slow and lengthy process. |
