A Complete Waste of Space

...just like I thought, you have no intelligent input on the matter.

You mean like your AIG comment? You've said some dumb stuff on these boards but that's in the top 10.

wait, the one where he said the president/senate/house whatever cant control the economy, or the one where he said Bush and (at the time) repub controlled everything was ruining it?

I sense a whole lot of backpedal in the force.

I sense a boatload of stupid. The bank bailout might piss people off, but guess what? A lot of folks would've been more upset had they gone to the ATM that Monday in September 2008 and not had any funds available. And that, despite what some of you rocket scientists might think, is where the Bush Admin was at when they started the bank bailout in motion.
Also, AIG is an insurance company, thus unable to recoup the cash like the banks themselves have. Now, IMO, since the banks got much of AIG's bailout funds in terms of payback on outstanding debts, they should be asked to kick back more than they have. Obama seems to be aiming for that, whether Congress goes along is anyone's guess.
And, Dawg, let's set the record straight, dude....no sense in your continuing to twist words and outright lie.
First, I never said that the Bush Admin caused anything to occur in the economy. Why? Because I'll stand by my other statement: Presidents and Congresses have essentially NO control over general economic trends. They can push and pull around the edges(example-Obama's job act helps some, but can't overcome an overall economic downturn), and over time, policies around regulation, taxation and securities law can be used to game the system. Still, most economic problems we are looking at now are basic, systemic, and largely unrelated to government policy. We have moved over decades from an economy that values labor to create capital, to one that emphasizes short term gain and values income from investment over income from labor. Further, we see the reflection of a long-term trend of grotesque consumer greed, wherein people love to acquire shit that they could never truly afford(houses, boats, cars, all on credit). That same spirit has now carried into how we govern the nation, entirely on the credit tab, and will kill off the nation as quickly as it kicked the personal economies in the ass.

The above is an excellent example of why "Weed" must remain illegal..........You have outdone yer self Slick...just when folks thought ya couldn't make a bigger turd.....ya shit one over the fence of reality.....It is not worth my time to point out the absurdities of your statement/explanation...

Old Pudfark sez: " Slick, if yer gonna write shit like that....at least make it rhyme "

Lots of easter bunnies around here. They make good stew.

uh-huh. Sort of like Dawg always says when he hasn't a clue, either. Go ahead, try and point out my errors. I welcome the critique.....of course, I might just be prepared with a few historical examples to back up my claims, but give it your best shot.
