blow up until 2009."

Thom Hartmann just said that re: the disaster capitalism of this housing crisis. ...... I think I'm beginning to agree with him.

12. mccain seems to be trying his hardest, day in and day out,
to lose. he does one stupid, incomprehensible thing after another, and the Amurkan people are too but-stupid to let him fail. Unfuckingbelievable.

10. Absolutely....They were keeping interest rates artificially low, doing all they could to
Edited on Wed Sep-24-08 12:39 PM by GreenTea
make sure Bush would be out of office when the crash inevitably was going to explode, because of the republicans deregulation policies - And then would put the blame on the next president and the democratic majority congress who would inherit this BushCo & republican mess, and to help republican candidates, when they knew it was going to blow early they came up with this disgusting bailout for their republican fascist friends and corporations.

It's going to get far worse than this....get rid of your debt and live more simply....

11. Thom is brilliant
and correct. They wanted this to fall on Obama's watch. Yes, they know that he WILL win, unless theft or martial law occurs.
