Why would anyone believe that the Repubs were not for Wall Street First?
Their own fuck ups?
That's like blaming the maid because you stained the sheets.
If you honestly believe that both parties did not know what was going on, that both parties were absolutely fine with it, that both parties financially benefited from it, then you are a fool.
Fucking politicians are such damned hypocrites - and that people defend them is beyond stupid.
And... instead of engaging the brain and critically looking at the facts of what happened, they whine about others 'defending Wall Street'.... I'm not 'defending' anyone.... I'm apportioning blame.... because that is what intelligent people do.
Sweetness? You did not mention both parties in the post I responded to. Additionally, within the two party system, we hire a new ADMINISTRATION every four years (unless we like the the first four), and they are hired to do a job. Now, iffin you like it or not, the two ADMINISTRATIONS of the previous 8 years burned the crops and sowed the fields with salt. Those affiliated WITH that administration are obstructing the clean up effort.
It is what it is.
It really is.
Only white wingers on this blog are still blaming the economic collapse on Freddie/Fannie.
All the economists, both left and right, blame it on Wall Street and deregulation.
Obviously, USMB bloggers know something no one else does. What other possible explanation could there be?

Why would anyone believe that you're not an idiot?
So many questions, so few smart people with answers.
I love rhetoric like this. So if wall street people arent americans what the hell are they?
Yea sucker, corporations are people too...
There are 2 types of Republicans; millionaires and suckers.

Corporations contain people. Maybe people with more proportional power than you but still people. Needing to dehumanize them is an obvious tactic to oppose them without needing to think about it.
And I consider myself a republican and I'm not a miliionaire. Dont think I'm a sucker either.
I guess you are just one of those people that can't fathom someone thinking differently than you and just have to insult them.
Wasn't just the opposite argued when SCOTUS made their ruling about campaign contributions?Nice try...but you fail.
There is a very good reason to dehumanize corporations. They are NOT human.
They are not mortal. They don't share that same aspirations as you and I. They are not fragile biological creatures that can be poisoned, harmed or killed. They don't want democracy, they don't want free markets. Corporations exist for one sole purpose...profit.
Meanwhile the Demo-Libs block a bill that would stop funneling an endless stream of cash to Fannie and Freddie:
Congress.org - : Key Votes
So, nanner-nanner-boo-boo

Corporations are externalizing machines that are constantly figuring out ways to get somebody else to pay their costs of production. One of the best ways to do that is through pollution. Pollution is inefficiency. It undermines and dismantles a true free market and allows a corporation to drastically reduces the REAL costs of their product and pass those inefficiencies (costs) on to you and me. It costs We the people about 4 trillion dollars per year to absorb THEIR costs, through workplace injuries, medical care required by the failure of unsafe products, health costs from pollution, hazy skies, injured consumers, and impoverished workers in the United States and elsewhere.
If you really want a country that our founding father's envisioned, and if you want to understand their view of corporations and the role of government to control and regulate corporations; educate yourself...
The History of Corporations in the United States
The first thing to understand is the difference between the natural person and the fictitious person called a corporation. They differ in the purpose for which they are created, in the strength which they possess, and in the restraints under which they act. Man is the handiwork of God and was placed upon earth to carry out a Divine purpose; the corporation is the handiwork of man and created to carry out a money-making policy. There is comparatively little difference in the strength of men; a corporation may be one hundred, one thousand, or even one million times stronger than the average man. Man acts under the restraints of conscience, and is influenced also by a belief in a future life. A corporation has no soul and cares nothing about the hereafter.

Yeah where do you think we could find a smart person?

The guy that mugs you at an ATM is also more than likely an American.

You didnt answer my statement. You just went into the standard CORPORTATIONS EVIL OOGA BOOGA rant.
If there is a better model of doing business I'd like to hear it.
