Just like with Hoover before them, the current GOP from Bush to his Congressional GOP counterparts only wanted and continue to want continued complete deregulation which put us in this mess. They wanted to party like children running free in a candy store. And they sure did.

Now we are all paying for it and this mess created by them built up over the Bush administration's duration will take a long time to clean up and it will take bold action to reverse this mess.

Of course though, the GOP wants "Obama to fail." I don't have a problem with Rush and his party clearly stating the obvious.

We get it. They would do it all over again if they could.

So it's only natural that the bad children don't want rules in place by parents to get us moving properly to a sound condition.

Nope, they want to go back to the party no matter how bad they sink this country.

We do know however that significant progess was made by FDR to improve the economy and lives of Americans hurt badly from Hoover's Great Depression.

And we know when FDR let up on the investment in 1937 that the economy reversed progress.

We have an opportunity to learn from that past, despite the continued willful incompetence and ignorance of the failed conservative policies.

But by all means neo-Hooverites, continue with your propaganda.....

Fortunately for our nation, the neo-Hooverite GOP has been banished into irrelevance by the voting public. The sad thing is that the public reacted four years too late.

I think you need to go out and find out the real reason for the Depression we are in now and it is not deregulation.

But I feel like Charlie Brown when the teacher is talking, I read a post like this and all that goes through my head is "Mwah, mwah.....mwah mwah mwah mwah".

How's that kool-aid taste? We don't want another "New Deal" because it's going to hurt us badly.

Exactly which is why you need to turn off the cartoons and read up on history.

We are hurting badly. We have history to show us policies that did work to help in such historic times. We can see that the efforts of the New Deal greatly helped the American people and our economy.

Keep drinking though, since you prefer to not be informed.

To both liberals and conservatives: give it a rest. All the bashing across the isle is a major reason we aren't moving towards a solution to the mess American is in. 'Being right' or 'putting the other party in their place' is counterproductive. Lets work together and come up with a solution then go back to petty one-upping each other, ok?
