Quote from limitdown:
purely from the economic perspective and not the political perspective
objectively
1) what would you call what Bush-II has done and is directly responsible for over the last 8 years, presiding over the worse worldwide depression know on human record?
2) what would you call the incalcitrent, business first, consumer / taxpayer / municipality be damned attitude of the Republican Senatorial delegation that continues to hold the banks harmless after hundreds of billions of dollars in bailout (free) money and ignoring the pleas for help from the manufacturing sector and the municipal sectors (yes, hundreds of cities, counties and states are pleading for help because of having been starved of their tax base also)?
3) what would you call the remaining dismal days of the transition from the election to the inaugration?, and how those Bush-II policies continue to show:
3a) millions more jobs being lost and certainly in the balance?
3b) the possibility of unemploying 3 full states directly and many others indirectly (in reference to the automotive industry scenario)?
3c) allowing through "wink and a nod" continued non enforcement of existing "on the books" regulations?, and no word from the bully pulpit (reference to Presidential influence when making public declarations) regarding all these
3c1) corporate bonuses at the expense of these bailout funds
3c2) corporate abuses at AIG and others after receiving public funds
3c3) choosing not to lend to the automotive industry after bailing out the banking sector?
I would say, you described Bush-II accurately,
and wish that you or this reporter or this article could blame a person (any person) other than the cause,
and a failed attempt at projecting some ill will towards whom ever comes into office after Bush-II.
Whichever newly elected administration won, prognostications like these would have been made anyway, its particularly disconcerting to blame someone who has not even take office yet....
that makes this news article, its editor for allowing it, its writers and those, like yourself who choose to promote / agree with it, show just how irrelevant and worthless your views are. After all, go fight with the electoral results and see whether the American people care to be abused anymore with all these abuses like those that they have endured for the last 8 years.
They really didn't care to hear anymore of these so called "in the know", "we know better than you", "just listen to us and we'll make the decisions for you" people / types anymore.
