4 years ago, huh?  Sounds like you knew what the result of the Repubican tax and economic policy was gonna be.

You are being willfully stupid if you believe one party and 6-8 years pulled this off alone.

It's been a long time coming with help from both political parties, bribery, corruption, and gleeful acceptance by stupid Serin type greed-tards at the expense of those who lived within, or below, their means.

I hate the partisan tards of both parties.  They're useful idiots of the dog and pony show to make the lemmings believe that the system legitimately represents us.  The new media buzzword "bi-partisan" makes me want to vomit, as if the solution is to take the worst elements of both parties as some sort of middle ground that is supposed to please everybody.

Everybody hated the fuqing bailout of Wall Street in 2008, by wide margins in all of the polls.  Yet, Congress (a Democratically-controlled one at that, the party that supposedly represents the little guy) voted for it.

I emailed and called all of my Federal reps (all Dems) and none of them were accepting phone calls and none of them returned emails until after the bill had been voted on and passed.  All of the emails were generic condescending bullshyt.

More Democrats voted for TARP than Republicans.  I'm not saying that Republicans are better, but they were more scared of losing their seats than anything.

And the professional leftists in the media (Olbermann, Schultz and whatnot) have the fuqing gall to exclaim that Republicans are for the Wall Street bailouts but against the bailouts for the little people.

Complete fuqing bullshyt.

PS: both parties still suck balls.

I wonder how many other families are in the same shape or worse?

I remember the media chorus cheering John McCain's support for TARP in 2008 for his "independence" and whatnot, and I was screaming at the TV for the idiocy of the talking heads.

McCain was actually competitive in the poll numbers up to that point.  If he had come out full-mad against TARP, I might have actually voted for him, in spite of major policy differences.

you would have voted to put a heartbeat away from the Presidency?

Opposing TARP was McCain's only chance of winning considering the anti-Republican sentiment that year. Naturally he blew it, preferring to serve the power elite instead.

the way he went about supporting tarp was laughable--suspending the campaign to go above politics as usual.  what a fuqing farce.

if he opposed tarp, there would have been a grassroots upsurge to help him who were pissed off at the system.

Is he still a huge Obama fan? 

He was one of the people that actually believed the Stimulus worked.

I rent, and laugh my way to the bank. Not to mention the flexibility to pick up and move should new opportunities come along. I'm not chained to some overblown, overpriced, underbuilt particle board McMantion in Exurb hell.

OH, but I'M the loser. Right.
