Yes, really just the banks... Those loans should never have been made in the first place...

What a foolish statement. Are you not aware of the fact that the banks were forced to make those loans or would be sued...remember the law suit brought forth by Barak Obama and group to force loaning to unqualified people??

Moderator cut: Copyright violation -- please post a link and a "snippet" only, per the Terms of Service
Reality check-

Keeping tax rates where they are at now is not a "tax cut" for anyone.

Obama plans to RAISE TAXES on everyone as of January 1st for not only income, but through a variety of other means.

Really! Did you learn the same English language I did? When one's taxes rise (pay more $'s), meaning one pays more in taxes, I define that as "raising taxes." The way I was taught the English language and word definition, up means rising!

Ooops! Ya got that backwards. There was a surplus when Clinton left...he didn't leave it...it was brought forth by the actions of Newt Gingrich and the Contract with America which elected all those "young Republicans" who straightened up the financial mess and created the surplus. Clinton tried to fight them and quickly realized he had better join them. That surplus was largely due to John Kasich and his Committee. Not Clinton.

I am so glad John Kasich is now running for governor of his state and is ahead in the polls and looks like he will win.
