You can cry all you want about the GOP not regulating enough to real in lousy loans, but they tried, and Barney Frank and Chris Dodd dealt to stop the GOP from enacting legislation that would have scaled back the CRA. If it wasn't for the CRA so many bad loans wouldn't have been made.
And for your information, right now for something to be "blocked" it needs to be pretty unpopular, the Democrats have 59 votes. All they need is to flip one of the 3 RINOs.
I'm proud that the Congress is deciding to finally be fiscally sane (at least to a very small degree). The debt that we were accruing for people who don't care to find a job is ridiculous.
Right now you have a 99 week safety net, if that's not enough, nothing is. The problem is that the government is trying to make people complacent, trying to make them rely on their hand. If your government controls your food, your shelter, your safety, you are putty in their hands.
I'll admit, the Democrats have done a good job reminding people of this. This make the more idiotic amongst them automatically vote for the Democrats because "the Republicans will take my house away."
About these riots, I don't think that it will happen. It almost never does until morons start inciting them... I say it's a good idea, show the average American taxpayer the dependence the government has nurtured - to the extent that some riot when they are cut off.
You know what happens then? The majority decides to only elect politicians that support cutting off welfare (in the form of unemployment) to those who burn their government owned house down when they throw a fit because they don't want to work, but want to get paid to work.
Right now there is a huge incentive not to work, it's called a 99 week holiday - and it's paid! If this didn't exist people would actually be trying to find work, and even though it might not be easy it would reduce the long-term unemployed and thus increase the flow of capital, ease credit, and increase the GDP - eventually lower unemployment.
So if you actually believe that the GOP single handed block even more welfare to those who don't want to work, and if you actually believe that they were wrong, I'll say that we'll see in November. I personally can't wait to see Nancy Pelosi cry on TV as she hands the gavel over to John Boehner, and as we see Sharon Angle take the place of Harry Reid.
You had your 4 years of spending like a drunken sailor, now the GOP will clean up the mess. Like any drug it'll be tough for those on welfare to get off, but if you've been on unemployment for more than 99 weeks you need to be cut off. You're hurting the taxpayer, the next generation, and worst of all yourself.
