If the media and the GOP would stop predicting doom and gloom, I would be more optimistic. Your boy got us into this over an 8 year period and you are expecting a new administration to get us out in a couple of months?!
The change of administration should have happened a long time ago. Timing could not have been worse and now the feckless GOP is adding insult to injury by caring more about getting back in office in 4 years than about the fate of the country.
We will remember this behavior.
The thing is everyone is hurting. I lost at least 40% of my retirement and I don't have 20 years to build it up again. I'm an aging single woman but I know that many are much much worse off. I feel for them and I'm praying that this GLOBAL recession can be turned around in now too many years.
The glee and the constant little posts to show how bad off we are is mean-spirited.
This did not happen on Obama's watch so hoping for the US and the world to remain in its downward economic fall so as to chortle in glee is disgusting considering your pals George, Dick, and Paulson had the reins for two consecutive terms.

Psst....soooo trying to blame bank managers ,like you guys trying to blame unions,poor people,Obama,Clinton,doesn't sit well with you,well tough shite,if you guys can play like 8 yr old bully's in the school yard I'm going to start too.Seems to be the only way to get a point across in here......hypocritexposer said:Psst, Mrs Greg!, read up on ACORN, and the CRA!
My post was geared to Aplus's mention of poor people.....hence the psst aplus,then you psst'ed me...and the rest is history :wink:hypocritexposer said:I didn't say anything about poor people!
Mrs.Greg said:It does kinda Pisss a person off that's ALWAYS paid their bills and lived within their means when their retirement plans are hitting the bottom,but I'm ok with that to get back to the basics.
Go ahead now you can talk about Rush's man boobs! Don't forget to mention Oprah's fat a$$ while you're at it.
I don't know,good question. I'm leanin to the letting our place burn down,we can always rebuild and the ones that were playing with matches to begin with, hopefully, learned their lesson!!!Oldtimer said:Mrs.Greg said:It does kinda Pisss a person off that's ALWAYS paid their bills and lived within their means when their retirement plans are hitting the bottom,but I'm ok with that to get back to the basics.
Yep it Pizzzz's everyone off-- especially because much of it was because of GREED over ETHICS-- but now we're to the point, do we call the Fire Dept to fight and put out the fire they started- or do we let it burn to punish them- and in doing so burn our place out too..... :???:

There's probably a million reason's our country's are in the financial shape they're in and poor people are probably at the VERY bottom of that list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For one thing Faster,its not just the US that's in this bind,so just blaming your government doesn't just set right with me.Faster horses said:Sorry, Mrs. Greg, that dog won't hunt. Government did get us into this mess.
Clinton set it up so that people who couldn't afford homes would
be able to buy them. The regulations were changed so that houses
couldn't be afforded were bought by people who couldn't afford them. The down payment was done away with in order to get these people in
houses.
Eisenhower wanted a chicken in every pot, Clinton wanted everyone
in a house, whether they could afford it or not.
Oh, BTW, Bush asked 17 times that Fannie and Freddie be
more regulated.
reader (the Second) said:What, do you think that none of us are paying attention to our retirement?
Since most have lost their retirements because of the Stock Market crash you would think that the President of the US would at least keep his mouth shut about the fact he doesn't care about the DOW dropping into the basement, while he pushes his health care and green agenda that are going to put the US in further DEBT.
If the media and the GOP would stop predicting doom and gloom, I would be more optimistic.
OMG Obama uses the word "crisis" in a speech 26 times, it was so bad even Bill Clinton said he needed to stop the gloom and doom. How many times have we heard "this is the worse economy since the Great Depression" from the Dems.? You say "If the GOP would stop" :roll: :roll: :roll: BTW the economy was worse during the first years of Reagan but he used CUTS in both Taxes and spending to get out of it not tax hikes and hugh spending bills every other week.
Your boy got us into this over an 8 year period and you are expecting a new administration to get us out in a couple of months?!
Clinton started the Sub Prime Mortgage crap by encouraging the Banks to enter into the loans in the later years of his Presidency
Obama sued Citibank to force them to make high risk loans.
Barney Franks lies to the public about the trouble of Fanny and Freddy when Bush and McCain tried to get regulations on the Banks. And Reader says "your boy got us into this" :roll: :roll: :roll:
The change of administration should have happened a long time ago. Timing could not have been worse
Remember the economy could have been much better if the Dems would have stayed out of the Banking sector. with their encouraging bad loans and suing and lying about the problems and stonewalling the attempts to regulate the Banks . :roll: :roll: :roll:
and now the feckless GOP is adding insult to injury by caring more about getting back in office in 4 years than about the fate of the country.
Well if pointing out the truth to the US voters is threatening the Dems chance of getting re-elected in four years then maybe the Dems should be looking at their own actions Reader. :roll: :roll: :roll:
We will remember this behavior.
