This economy is so strong and stable i am thankful for our current president and congress we're really headed in the right direction. let's all take time to thank our politicians for their hard work.. now celebrate!
Thank you king Bush for spreading love, peace, prosperity, stability, respect, faith, freedom to the world!...NOT!!! YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SATANIC TRASH!!!
When Clinton handed over the economy, it was a strong and growing economy, whoever takes over from Bush, good luck to that person.
That's a good point. With all the media buzz about the upcoming elections, people are losing sight of the big picture: the next president is screwed. It's going to take at least a decade for the United States to figure a way out of this war and get the economy back on track, and that's only if the next president makes near-perfect decisions. The next president is going to be the leader of this country through some of its darkest days, and he (or she) will have little chance of being remembered as anything more than a failure.
There's plenty of money in the economy right now, so get yours! If you want someone to blame start reseaching US Senator Charles Schumer.
HEY GTECH WERE KILLING THEM TERRORISTS AND SPENDIN ALL OUR MONEYZ TO KEEP AMERICA SAFE! TO BAD WE CANT SAVE OUR SELFS FROM... bush and people like you.
For some reason , i dont believe gtech is feeling the pinch by the way hes posting. It must be nice to be one of the upper guys
Gtech is still in his own little bubble cheering for Chuckster and Huckster. Too bad nobody's listening.
The economy is not just Bush's fault. Democrats are to blame as well (ie. NAFTA). For years our elected officials have sold this country off piece by piece. It took a while, but their lack of representing the people is finally going to show up in most American's personal lives. Bush's stimulus plan is a joke as well. Instead of spending $150+ billion dollars on "rebates," maybe they should spend some money and go after the companies that wholesale raped Americans. I live in Ohio, and I read in the paper yesterday that 5,000 foreclosed homes in the area may be the result of fraud. The FBI is breaking the bank - they have three whole dedicated employees working on these 5,000 cases. WTF. Maybe by retirement, these three employees will have fully investigated a fraction of the cases. I also read in the paper that Bush's last "tax cut" saved the richest 1% of Americans $180,000 a year. While the average family making $50K saved $700 a year. It would take 257 average families to get the same tax cut as that top 1%. The problem is the rich throw the money in the bank and let it earn more money for them. The rest spend it to make ends meet. This will eventually hit our bottom lines as well. If people slow spending, that's less money coming our way.
A lot of the poor waste some big $$$ in convience stores and buy $5 boxes of breakfest cereal. The illegal aliens where I am are able to eat well and still have plenty of money to send south of the border. I got a deal the other week of 3 20lb bags of rice for $10, 10 lb of chicken legs $3, 20 lb beef top sirlon $40 and a few bags of vegetables, fruit and beans. Total was $70.
Except that it wasn't I remember when Bush was running for the white house and he talked about how the economy was slowing Bill Maher still on his old show blamed bush for talking the economy into a recession.
When they talking about Mortgage fraud its usually fraud committed on the part of the borrower, not the lender.
I diagree, and this is not the case in Cleveland, Ohio - the foreclosure epicenter of the country. Our local newspaper monopoly is running a four part series on the foreclosure mess. Monday's paper highlighted the head of a mortgage company that worked with shady appraisers, etc., to get loans approved. With sub-prime loans, borrowers did not need to verify income. Anyone with a pulse was approved for a home loan if they wanted one. The funny thing is that they also said in the paper there are 3 FBI agents working on 5,000 area foreclosure cases believed to involve fraud. With a team of three FBI agents working on 5,000 cases, they may get half way through the list before retirement! There is indeed a lot of fault to pass around, and the borrowers are guilty for not reading the fine print. Ultimately, our tax dollars pay federal agencies to protect us from corrupt companies who sell predatory loans. Since the government did not step in to stop sub-prime loans or force income verification, we have a much larger mess to deal with. The city of Cleveland is suing 21 banks because of the foreclosure mess. It should be interesting to see if Cleveland ever gets any money out of it.
