4. I blame "free market capitalists". when the corporations are "free" to screw us over, they will
this is rampant, reckless capitalism reaping what they have sown over the past 15-20 years. They only screwed up by having it happen before Bush left office. This was supposed to be the new Democratic President's mess to inherit

6. Republicans, Without Question
By abusing the political party structure, Republicans always voted against Democratic proposals, allowing the President to veto everything.

The solution is to limit the amount of congressional seats any one political party can gain. Political parties should not be able to challenge the government itself. They should not encourage mob-rule or 'partisanship', as some call it. They should never allow groups such as Christians or Confederates to acquire the political power necessary to control or over-throw the government.

7. I wont vote
Some democrats are at fault while others aren't. I would love to say all republicans are at fault but there is probaly 1 or 2 that doesn't deserve blame.
