Rising unemployment, rising gas prices, record foreclosures, record trade deficit, the Big Three on the verge of bankrupcy, $700 billion dollars wasted on Iraq, and a $500 billion dollar budget deficit.

Stock market crashing.....

CNNMoney.com Market Report - Sep. 15, 2008

Thank you, Republicans, may you burn in hell.
 
Global markets tumbled as investors reeled after Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, Merrill Lynch was forced to sell itself to Bank of America and investors awaited AIG's restructuring announcement.

"You have to throw out the history books because there's really nothing to compare this to," said Jim Dunigan, chief investment officer at PNC Advisors.

"Any speculation as to what inning we're in becomes difficult because each step of the way seems to bring another drop," Dunigan said.

Art Hogan, chief market strategist for Jefferies & Co., said the magnitude of the financial industry fallout is unprecedented, and could only be compared to the Great Depression of the 1930s or the railroad bankruptcies of the 1800s.

"We've never witnessed this before," said Hogan. "There's no road map for this."

I took this on here

You ignored it... so I'll repost it now:

1. Rising unemployment cause illegals are going home
2. Forclosures cause too many people were given home loans when they had no business getting a home to begin with.
3. See #2 as to why the "big three" are failing
4. The war in Iraq is not a waste
5. See #4 - had/have a war to pay for

4,000 dead, 30,000 wounded, and $700 billion dollars wasted to set up a Shia government in Iraq allied with Iran. Entirely the Republicans fault.

When the Reagan deregulated the Savings and Loans in the 1980's, they went bust. When Bush got in, the same thing happened with the mortgage industry. Coincidence? Hardly. The Republicans fault.

Republicans were against fuel efficiency standards which have resulted in the increase in American dependency on foreign oil and the collapse of the Big Three. Once again, the Republicans fault.

Unemployment is related to the housing industy and the auto industry discussed above. Once again, the Republicans fault.
 
Why do I have the impression that the FED operates independently ?

Because it does.

What's the last piece of legislation that congress represented the people on, which authorized the Fed to do ANYTHING?

Interest rates are low, and you are blaming this on the Fed?

Talk about lame....

Once again, please use facts when making stupid claims:
Congress Quietly Approves Billions More for Iraq War - House (dems have majority) approve more Iraq funding

United States Senate
Party Ayes Nays No Vote
Republican 48 1 0
Democratic 29 21 0
Independent 0 1 0
TOTALS 77 23 0

21 (42%) of 50 Democratic Senators voted against the resolution: Sens. Akaka (D-HI), Bingaman (D-NM), Boxer (D-CA), Byrd (D-WV), Conrad (D-ND), Corzine (D-NJ), Dayton (D-MN), Durbin (D-IL), Feingold (D-WI), Graham (D-FL), Inouye (D-HI), Kennedy (D-MA), Leahy (D-VT), Levin (D-MI), Mikulski (D-MD), Murray (D-WA), Reed (D-RI), Sarbanes (D-MD), Stabenow (D-MI), Wellstone (D-MN), Wyden (D-OR).
1 of 49 Republican Senators voted against the resolution: Sen. Chafee (R-RI).
The only Independent Senator voted against the resoution: Sen. Jeffords (I-VT)
Iraq Resolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Once - again wasn't entirely Republicans.

When the Reagan deregulated the Savings and Loans in the 1980's, they went bust. When Bush got in, the same thing happened with the mortgage industry. Coincidence? Hardly. The Republicans fault.
Buyers, bankers blamed for housing crisis

Republicans were against fuel efficiency standards which have resulted in the increase in American dependency on foreign oil and the collapse of the Big Three. Once again, the Republicans fault.
Wrong again:
Senate passes bill increasing fuel economy standards - CNN.com
The measure was approved with strong bipartisan support 86-8 after Democrats abandoned efforts to impose billions of dollars in new taxes on the biggest oil companies,

Unemployment is related to the housing industy and the auto industry discussed above. Once again, the Republicans fault.

The Economy -
GW's 1st three years versus Clinton's 1st three years:

Unemployment Rate -
Jan 2004: 5.6% (After GWBush's 1st three years)
Change in rate from prior year (Jan '03-'04): 0.3%, Decrease

Jan 1996: 5.6% (After Bill Clinton's 1st three years)
Change in rate from prior year (Jan '95-'96): 0.0%, No change

* The Unemployement Rate is the same after GWBush's 1st three years as it was after Bill Clinton's 1st three years.
* The Unemployment rate steadily declined in the third year with GWBush while it remained unchanged in Bill Clinton's third year.


It'd sure be nice if you could use facts to back up your ridiculous claims...Oh, that's right, libs can't stand looking at facts... they use emotion rather than brain-power..

We're going to have to. The Democrats certainly won't gain any more seats in Congress than they already have, and the chances Obama will win are slim to none.
 
Bill Clinton - Eight years of peace and prosperity

George Bush - Eight years of war and debt

The next president - Cleaning up the mess

Don't count Obama out yet.

It's a long way to November.

Lame? What exactly is GOOD about interest rates being this low? And who the fuck do you think raises and lowers them?

Your stupid ass bitches about the housing market, when all the while, the main contributing factor was low interest rates in the early part of the decade that enticed so many morons to mortgage their futures away.

I know you'd love to blame a party for it, but both parties enable the monetary corruption, you dip shit.

No, the Republicans always allow deregulation which leads to abuse which leads to collapse.

And who walks away with the money? The big investors.

And who gets screwed? The little guy and the American taxpayer.

It's the Republican way.

Yeah, banks get deregulated, and somehow there's no responsibility on the part of the consumer to understand what the fuck exactly it is they are signing?

That's typical of a liberal to think. Your fellow Americans are 1/2 the reason we're in this mess, at the VERY LEAST.

Here's another nugget for you...Republicans don't artificially adjust interest rates, print money, and run the overall monetary system. Neither do Democrats.
 
And yet the tools defend this fool and has band of idiots. A business major LOL Bush proved a business major doesn't make you less stupid.


This is the Bush-McCain economy. Senator McCain may have forgotten, but President Bush already tried his economic policies and the results are not good. We have just been through a business cycle in which the wage of the typical worker and the typical working family fell. This is the first time that has ever happened."

My GF asked me, "Since Bush failed in all his business ventures, why would they elect him president?"

I told her, "Good question."
