Dewbie,
This is not socialism, at least not yet. And we all need to pray BO can get us out of this. Back him and never hope our country takes a crap. That is more un-american than even socialism. I hated the Dems betting against us doing well in Iraq and I hate repubs betting against our recovery.
Freespool,
Don't let a bunch of pieces of you know that used thier bought and paid for pols to get what they wanted make you think capitalism does not work. This country was built on a free market and individuals pushing themselves. Remember it was free not fair as you stated. And "More of the same".......not exactly but losing our country because a select few screwed us is not an option either and that is not to say BO is attempting to do that but.......
If we give up and start punishing hard work you will get laziness. Reward laziness and you get more laziness. These bankers and investors should get what they have coming ot them and the pols that let them do it should get theirs as well. Yet we still see individuals getting reelected and now we bail them all out. Bad idea in most cases but you get put between a rock and a hard place. Cant let these giants fail but cant just bail everyone out either at our childrens and grandchildrens expense. What is the right answer.......who knows. But remember what our country was found and built upon, that boat has not sailed yet.
