It seems that most people are now blaming the democrats for the current state of affairs, but that isn't totally true. It has been the GOP and the Bush administration that is the real blame for the current state of affairs. When the GOP had control of both houses and a Bush presidency, all the negative things that we are experiencing were put into motion. No party but the GOP Party has tried to bring this nation to its knees.
Clinton left a surplus with surplus projections into the future. Will they work now, hell no. The reason being the GOP enabled the robbery of this country and then use rhetoric to try and cast the blame. Are Democrats blameless? No. They didn't fight hard enough and fell for the War on Terror and invented cause to enable the collapse of our economy and now you see the banking industry is going to stick it to us again. The true leadership of this country will show itself if bankers are allowed to award bonuses to those who brought about this demise of our General Welfare.
The bankers rightly deserve to have 90% of the bonus monies to be paid in taxes. Who places them above the rest of us who are on the brink of financial disaster? None other then they themselves. They used our money, robbed our money, and they expect to go scot free? This issue alone will separate the men from the boys, not healthcare, which should be available to all Americans. Not bankers fucking everyone at every turn.
Time for the Democrats to step up to the plate and actually do what needs to be done, and heads should roll and the CEOs and the rest of the financial elites should be filling the vacant spaces in prison that will be opened by the release of non-violent drug war victims. They should not be allowed to talk their way out of the destruction they have wrought.
