Crisis: Day One...what if Nancy & Harry had said:

[SoCalDem]

" We have been presented with a two page explanation of the looming crisis, and it's just not good enough, so we have hired a team of forensic auditors, and have issued subpoenas for ALL financial documents of the entities involved in this issue..

Furthermore, we are calling for an immediate joint session of the house & senate banking committees to hold emergency hearings from 20 of the top economists from some of the most prestigious universities all around the country..

We will be demanding testimony, UNDER OATH , from Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Paulson, and the former secs of Treasury from this administration...

We WILL be finding out who knew what, and when they knew it..no matter WHICH party it "favors or harms".

We will be seeking criminal charges , if they are warranted.

When the hearings, audits and consultation in completed, we will THEN decide if congressional action is necessary, and if so, what that action will be.

We were railroaded into the patriot act, the war, and we will NOT be railroaded into spending money from people who aren't even born yet, so a few scoundrels and gamblers can be made whole again.

The lies and scams of almost 8 years have taught us to beware of an administration that DEMANDS immediate action , and provides no legitimate proof that any action is needed. If a bail out is necessary to "save the economy", we will weigh the possibility of making that bail out contingent on OWNERSHIP of the entities bailed out.

If US tax-money bails them out, then the US government, and its people will OWN that property, and any who participated in the undoing of that company and created a danger to our economy, will be treated as an economic terrorist, and will have his/her/their passports/property confiscated, until such time as a court of law clears them."

20. I knew that being "bi-partisan" would not solve this..

and that republicans would not co-operate... and did you notice how the ONLY ones rushing for the microphones & cameras, were the republicans who "blew it up", by reneging on their support?

10. I'd never pass the background check

:rofl:

I'm sure I must have swatted one of my boys in a store once or twice when they pulled all the price tags off a rack of clothes, or peeked up a mannequin's skirt, or gathered coins from the mall fountain..Somewhere there's a CCTV image of me swatting one of them.. I just KNOW it :)

The no-swatting people would have my head :)

or they might know that occasionally, I did not think that benadryl was all that bad, when they were all snoozing their colds away :evilgrin:

11. She could have done that, or immediately sided with the Repubs

...in opposing a bailout. Either way, Dems would have held all the cards.
