		<description>from a historical standpoint it&#039;s hard to object to the government&#039;s mass bailouts since similar debt-producing methods were put into action to save the U.S. from the Depression; maybe we&#039;ve been heading for socialism ever since...</description>

		<description>David,

Both parties are for a &quot;free market.&quot; It wasn&#039;t but a couple of months ago Goolsbee was out there telling us how superior Obama was because he wanted to give everybody stimulus checks rather than spend money on government programs like Oil for Seniors like Hillary. How&#039;d that work out for our economy? Don&#039;t even get me started about SS being in &quot;crisis&quot;(Geez, I&#039;m sure that has nothing to do with the President and Congress spending the surplus like drunken sailors rather than putting it away). It isn&#039;t just McCain that was using that line. I feel bad because alot of Americans are going to suffer as a result of how we have allowed the media to frame the narrative and make elections into a version of reality TV where instead of listening to and debating ideas each debate a candidate was voted off like Survivor(because after all Democrats are like generics).</description>

		<description>cwaltz - note I didnt blame a particular party. But in general, we all know who wants total deregulation, that only leads to this kind of mess...leaving taxpayers to clean it up.</description>

		<description>Well, at this point it&#039;s pretty darned if you do something, darned if you don&#039;t.  How many people did AIG, Fannie and Freddie employ? Do you really think the economy could absorb that without a ripple if the government hadn&#039;t bailed them out? 

I do have to wonder though are you really naive enough to believe that the people who rubberstamped FISA aren&#039;t just as much in the pocket for corporate America as their so called &quot;opposition&quot;? Ask yourself why HR 676 which actually would socialize medical care has languished in Congress and why Senator Kerry said national health care would be DOA? The Democrats are just hoping you are too busy watching American Idol to notice they are just as bad as their alternative.</description>

		<description>To sort of drive the point home:
&quot;Investors hoped a huge federal intervention could help financial institutions jettison bad mortgage debt and stop the drain on capital that has already taken down companies including Bear Stearns Cos. and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.&quot;

Yay, government owns a big share of Wall Street, let&#039;s buy up shares!</description>

		<description>I know Emily!

And Miranda, I agree - as Travis said above &quot;Privatized profits, nationalize risk&quot;. The whole &quot;socialism&quot; argument has left the building; where is the outrage over the government socializing all the banks?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not sure why everyone&#039;s worried about socialized health care. They say it&#039;s the start of a slippery slope. Actually, it&#039;s at the bottom. It&#039;s the last thing we&#039;ve got that isn&#039;t socialized. Our education, police, military, mail, garbage collection, road system, etc., ect. are all socialized. Even our capitalism is socialized.

So, what&#039;s the big deal at this point?</description>
