    And the democrats control Congress. I'm getting a mite sick of the democrats never taking responsibility and blaming everything bad on the minority party.

    Very good point.

    I just read this?

    Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV): "We Need The Republican Nominee For President To Let Us Know Where He Stands And What We Should Do." Reid: "We need, now, the Republicans to start producing some votes for us. We need the Republican nominee for president to let us know where he stands and what we should do." (Sen. Harry Reid, Press Conference, Washington, D.C., 9/23/08)

    What the hell does this mean? I thought he was the Senate's Majority Leader?

    Fun video from 2004.

    The GOP wanted more regulations on Fannie and Freddie, with Baker predicting a bailout from taxpayers. The dems fought any more rules on their friends, the GSEs.

    The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder

    So when the government uses a not-quite privatized pair of corporations to avoid the market and give out risky loans, the market is at fault? I see.

    Not that another $1T matters. You think there's going to be a depression now, how about when we can't pay the interest on our debt.
