Anybody who thinks this wretched mess is the fault of one political party is uninformed, uneducated, unenlightened, a pointless pot-stirrer or a troll. It is the result of easy money, greed and rolling excesses into one bubble after another for decades-- and that pretty much includes all political parties, as well as millions of non-partisan money-worshippers on Wall Street, Main Street and every other street in this country and abroad. The toxic stew of corporate bandits, lax lenders, irresponsible homeowners and dishonest money managers has little to do with politics and everything to do with greed.
not only greed, but laziness, stupidity, irrationality, lust for power, and the federal government in general.

There will be a financial meltdown, the inefficient structures and people that have been propped up for far too long will be weeded out, and the system will rebuild itself on much more solid ground.

zzzzzzzzzzzzz the market droped 24 or 25 percent in 89 and in 29 it was over 50 percent. This is still a little drop and people are still trading. We will survive this...just takes time.
I'm already seeing quotes from Pelosi blaming the Republicans. Will it ever end? Could we just this once have worked together, and not blamed everyone else? Guess not.
Re-vote in December....and guess who will get the credit??
