I went to it and it tells the truth that others don't know, I am not republican I am usually democrat but even I will be voting very wisely this year, besides it does not take anything to copy and paste in your browser, at least it didn't for me
irishlass45: oops to me too sorry about that, he wasn't responding quick enough Shippy.....I am not normally on that side but this time I am. I thought I would be dead before that happened but it has.
Thank you for the post. Of course you didn't need to be a rocket scientist to see that the whole housing deal was behind the problems.
Of course there are to many Americans that would rather be led by media than by truth or educating themselves on the issues. I have great fear for this great nation of mine. Have the average Americans gotten so lazy as to be led around like cows to the slaughter. We shall see in November. JMO.

A question! Does this mean that if your candidate loses, we are like cattle to the slaughter? And that if your candidate wins, we are smart??

arabella: I'm not about to go to that url that you posted
If you have an opinion or something to say, why don't you say it?
It is one of the "Burning Down the House" videos Arabella. It claims (probably with some justification) that the Democrats started this financial rin when Jimmy Carter legislated that financial instiututions have to provide a measure of "Sub-prime" loans so that Jack and Jill Average American can get a lone to buy a house. Of course easier loans (artificial or not) broadened the market base and housing prices rose.
What these videos don't admit is that speculators ... those with a lazy mill or two ... and there aren't many working class dudes amongst that club ... also drove prices up. In fact they were responsible for the October 1986 Crash. But they don't learn.
Why worry? All the money in the World won't help when the next comet comes crashing through. I wonder if cats or cocroaches will be the next dominant species.
I think non US citizens should also be allowed to vote in the US presidential election. Especially when the whole world bears the burnt of the decisions made by the US President. What do others think?
