#1 McCain needs to get an ad out that uses this clip from You Tube. Also "Burning Down the House" describes debacle brought on by mismanagement, corruption, and campaign fund kickbacks from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; the great flirtation--no it was a passionate love affair with social engineering and socialism.

Political correctness is driving this thing too--there is the political correctness notion in this country that corrupts everything it touches and that is that no one can fail; that no one should suffer any consequences and no one should have to work for anything.

Adolph Hitler came to power during the Great Depression just because people thought he was the messiah and who would bail them out. The rest of the world suffered greatly. The U.S. and allies had to make it right at great cost. Not making it right would have cost far more in the generations to come. We had principles forged by our forefathers and we had an abiding faith that there was something greater than ourselves that guided us. These principles and faith was far larger than the idea of making a buck, partisan politics or getting elected.

#3 What bothers me is the condition has not been addressed honestly. I know where the blame lies, but I want an open admission from a party I see as reckless. And I would like another bill to meet what Barons: Memo on the street found as well as the communities reinvestment act.

If you want markets to work, you fix the cause.

P.S. a small bill would work, one that actually regulates or deregulates properly. Screw all of your pork.
