False. It was the democrats pushing low income home ownership all the while Greenspan was screaming for years about the housing bubble.Bush wanted to investigate the mortgage industry in 2002 with Barney Frank , Maxine Waters saying there was no need for the mortgage industry was healthy!! It is all documented.
LOL Whatever you say "T". You gotta ask yourself why practically ALL Republicans opposed what Bush was trying to do.
The 'fiscal cliff' is the result of the debt limit 'hostage' negotiations last year. Both parties were a part of creating this 'automatic cuts' solution, and because neither party got serious about the manual/planned spending cuts, we will not have to face the automatic cuts. You get what you ask for.
Romney keeps talking about cuts, but if you ask him what he would cut specifially, he refuses to say. The Congress has done the same, they refuse to cut anything because they fear the citizens would be upset about the cuts.
I wasn't meaning to talk about that fiscal cliff but forgot to insert the link I wanted to discuss and this thing got away because of the first reply to my screwed up post.
^ also from CNN. Note that this is just the tax section.
you're going to have to be more specific. i don't see where obamacare is directly related to the fiscal cliff.
You are so right and I failed to get the link included in my OP. Here it is so you can see what taxes I was talking about and they have nothing to do with the fiscal cliff that leaners have headed this thread toward.
I say bring on the fiscal cliff, the dribbling morons who electing these hacks need to realize that their services and handouts actually cost something. About time they started paying for more of it.
What new bunch of taxes? You mean the return to the Clinton tax rate? That may happen for a few weeks but then a deal will be passed to relieve the middle and lower classes of that burden (I think we should leave the rates higher for all).
Ryan and Obama's Medicare plan is about the same as Ryan's current plan.
The candidates aren't that far apart. No one knows what and the hell Romney would do.
I failed to get my link in the post and just found that this thing has flown a completely different direction. I think I may just repost so we can discuss what I wanted to talk about.
