Apkd A guy that has to go on the internet and ask others how to plant an apple tree has zero credibility on any issue. Along with speaking volumes about his itelleigence it also proves that the hardest day he ever worked was probably deciding what stack of papers to push from on side of the desk to the other.

Too much of a conspiracy for me Todd. It went the route it did and people figured a way to take advantage as they always do. It was not the motivating factor. I think this is some what proven by Obama's actions to continue with the bush era policies or even double down on them in some aspects. The money printing proves a lot too. For a party that does not believe in "trickle down" it's been there whole economic strategy .
