And whats worse is that it's EVERY freaking side. Not just left or right, BOTH. And now they are all scrambling to pull it together.

Also, I am sick and tired of the media calling this a crisis and the next depression, it isn't even a freaking recession yet! This speculation is whats going to hurt us all the most.

It's not just the U.S. either, it's hitting the whole world. Neither Obama or McCain is going to fix this bullshit. All they will do is slap a band-aid over this and hope it holds until 4-8 years. What they are doing now is making it seems like they have the answers and that they will be the ones to make a stand and fix Washington, well guess what? That is some major bullshit. It's all a big show, they will do and say anything and make "plans" that will do nothing.

We need to demand smaller government and demand that the government NOT use our hard earned dollars to fix a problem THEY freaking started.


(Oh and when I read Daihashi's post I thought of this pic)
Couldn't have agreed more; however I do see the need for these companies to get bailed out. If their business was not so intertwined with the rest of the economy I would say let them drown. We need to start working towards downsizing our government and put back what the government was meant to do..... GOVERN.. not manage private entities.

This is a fairly sensitive issue because honestly you can't make a move one way or the other without having to get your hands dirty.
