yea it is all Clintons fault and Jimmy Carter, if Clinton hadnt got a blow job from that girl America would be fine, never mind Reagan deregulating everything and running up a 5 trillion dollar debt and the Bushs just following in his foot steps

All Clintons fault, and Jimmy Carter

Reagan did not degreualte any of the lenders. Once Fannie Mae and Mac were strated tne the democrats as stated wanted to make loan easier to those that couldn't get them. That started during clinton's term. At one point it was called for hearings by some as the democrats fouhg it. Barnay frank even said that if they got in rouble the governamnt could always bail them out.

What do Republicans have to say about the 10 Trillion debt Reagan and the 2 Bushs have rung up

When the previous 40 presidents(including Clinton) Only rung up a 2 trillion debt or so

that is 3 presidents 20 years- 10 Trillion

40 Presidents, 200 years- 2 Trillion

I bet you will be silent on this

Do you watch the news? It has been said many many times in the past week that Nobama has spent more $$$$ in his 6wks and proposes to spend in the near future, than all past presidents combined from Washington to Bush.

Will you be silent to this?

And, did you not read the article? How can one argue this article? It explains everything! Our housing market is to blame for much of our current issue now!

Many fiscal conservatives (not necessarily Republicans) agree with you. The federal government, under both parties, have spent like drunken sailors. Under the past R administration they greatly increasing the size of entitlement programs (see prescription drug program), took the federal government much more deeply into traditionally state and local issues (see education spending and NCLB), and added more than their fair share of pork (see the '04 transportation bill, among others). McCain was guilty of voting for most of the above, in many ways he wasn't that much different than BO. Remember while in the senate McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time...BO did so 86%. Where's the change?

Having said that...the Change seems to be only in the rate of spending. BO has run up nearly as much debt in 6 weeks as Bush did in 8 years.

Lightbulb Current economy is CLINTON'S FAULT...

Wackaloon logic:

Everything negative that's occured between 1980 and 2008 is Clinton's fault. Everything before 1980 was Jimmy Carter's fault.

The current mess we're in has all precipitated in the past six weeks. Any of it that was looming in the background before January 20th was the fault of the Democratic congress that took office in 2007.

It's all so clear!
