PARTISAN BICKERING SOLVES NOTHING!
I try to avoid listening to the idiot politicians talking about the 'bailout' of wall street, however, Friday morning on Good Morning America, I saw Nancy Pelosi, and this person is one partisan, blame everyone but me politician.
She mentioned that Pres Bush is responsible for the current problem, and then was told that Pres Clinton admitted that in 1995 he asked Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac to ease rules so lower income people could obtain loans (socialism) and Pres Clinton said they MAY have been wrong in doing this. Pelosi answers that the Republicans were in charge of the Congress, so its their fault, not Pres Clinton's. Now..... follow me here..... she's blaming Bush, but the DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN IN CHARGE OF CONGRESS for the past 2 years!! Is she actually crazy?? Does she have an honest bone in her body?? She should be run out of her position, or thrown in jail with probably 90% of the other politicians.
Then yesterday, at a time when they should all be working together on our financial crisis, Pelosi made a speech that was definitely partisan, casting more blame on the Republicans. I'm not saying Bush and the Republicans are blameless, but the Democratic leaders want us to believe none of this is their fault, when actually they're ALL responsible for allowing this to go on.

I might be incorrect but I believe Ms. Pelosi is very wealthy and quite out of touch with what all of us actually struggle with on a daily basis. I don't understand the bailout or why it is necessary and I'd love it if you'd discuss that Sketch.
Why do we have to pay for people who don't live within their means when we struggle for everything we earn.
I found the following quote of the day and thought it particularly suiting to the current financial crisis.

There are a number groups responsible in my opinion. The government as a whole for relaxing or allowing relaxed income requirements, Big Corporations for their ridiculous bonus packages for senior executives. The credit industry for making it too easy and attractive to acquire credit. Us, me included for living beyond our means, falling for those tempting credit promises.
After watching Pelosi a few times, I agree with you. She is not equipped to handle this job.
Thanks for the post, and letting me spill my guts, however wrong or right I might be.
The market had its second largest one day rise in history the day after the giant fall with headlines screaming about how much was lost.
Thank goodness Congress deadlocked and did not pass a Bailout/Rescue (whatever they are calling it today.) We can only hope they remain deadlocked and do nothing to try and "save" us.
Has everyone forgotten the scariest words in the English language? "I'm from the government. I'm here to help."
Every single member of congress has to take blame for the present economy.There is no way that any one person or party should take the blunt of the blame they all have had a say in this.
