Both Dem and Rep need to go. This didn't start when the Dems took power; in fact the housing problems started just before they took power and have gone down hill since.
Both parties as usual looked the other way hoping no one would see what was happening. Now that it has started to affect everyone they are pointing the finger at the other party.

Greed is to blame for the stock market crash. Companies were making plenty of money when they manufactured products in America, but they could make more if they were moved overseas. The problem is when you move too many jobs overseas and replace them with lower paying jobs there are fewer people that can keep paying more and more for homes and imported products. What you are seeing is what happens when you remove the middle class from the equation.

Wait till you see what happens when the rest of the baby boomers try to retire now.

Anyone know if the AIG problem is due to the banks wanting the PMI insurance companies to pay up for all the defaulted loans that were required to pay PMI since they were funded with less than 20% down? Is that what’s happening?

About the only thing I believe... is that:
  1. ... you believe whatever the GOP tells you.
  2. ... you have plenty of free time to post whatever the GOP tells you on this forum.
God Bless!

What has the United States Congress Been Doing Since Then...

Who have been working on solutions and Who are part of the Problem?

How has America improved since the Democrat Party took POWER in the United States Congress?

It all goes together.

The Democrat control of Congress has to gooooo.
If you will just listen to your beloved McCain, he's been telling America that the economy is in fine shape. Or has he flip flopped on that subject already?
