REAL History...

[skyguy2007]

I find it funny how some like to blame only the most recent of those who held office in this country for the mess today, when if they would only take the time to do a little proper research, the real facts show themselves...amazing how democrats were the fuel for the fire we have in banking and real estate today...

How the Subprime Mortgage Mess Began | Notes from Jim Haughey | Reed Construction Data

[ColdCase]

It all started with the 'trickle down' theory....The beginning of the END!!!

and..... the movie Wall Street....ha ha ha Gecko: "greed is good"

[skyguy2007]

If you read the article, your well aware it started WAY before the "trickle"

I liked the movie Wall Street, pure bullshit like all movies, but it was entertaining, so it did what it was supposed to for me at least.

Damn...I don't seem to know the difference between "your" and you're"....lol!

[ColdCase]

It wasn't such 'bullshit'......Greed is Good has become the mantra of banks, corporations and wall street.

Downsizing, off shore anything, subprime...etc is about Neo Capatalistic GREED!!!

Until you reform this obscenity which has become this new American 'capitalism' you are doomed to implode.

Don't forget CC, many of the obscene rich in this country are the lefties, not just the righties! The mantra of banks, insurance, large corporations and wall street all started with laws and regulations, or the changing of regulations put in place by the left from Carter right up to Clinton. Bush/Bush and Ronnie sure didn't help things, but the source of the problems we have today have been driven strongly by the left.

As far as movies, at least in my eyes they have a two fold purpose, to make money for the ones putting it in the market place, and strictly entertainment for me, nothing more, nothing less. Yes, even movies made by Mike "Show Me The Money" Moore and Al "The Bore" Gore.

The desire to assign blame to the 'left' and the 'right' is a solid indication that we've learned absolutely nothing from this financial crisis. Both sides consorted pretty heavily to make this happen and either one could have prevented it with fairly minimal action at any time. Neither side did.

Well said!

For argument's sake, let's say it was equally mismanaged by both parties.

What innovative track would you like to see implemented by the present administration to help curb the downward spiral
in which you seem to be in?

If you believe that Obama, at least, has good intentions....what should he be doing which he is not?
