TPS Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 It's Wall Street's fault. If they hadn't forced the innocent, faultless American consumer to buy houses at inflated prices they couldn't afford, the housing market wouldn't have crashed, municipalities would have more property tax revenue, and the states wouldn't have to subsidize them. All they need to do is raise taxes, THEN they'll be more responsible. Yeah, it's consumers' fault because they forced the banks to give them loans to buy those houses... Lenders would never lie; lending institutions would never fudge income numbers; Moody's and S&P would never provide AAA ratings falsely; banks would self-regulate; and on... But let's make it simple and blame the consumers...
Bishop Hedd Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Fixed Most of NY states federal largess basically goes to support the yokels in flyover country.
IDBillzFan Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 What are you going to eat? Their own. Just like they've been doing for the past month. Pelosi will start with the Blue Dog tartare and Axelrod will help himself to some Spam.
pBills Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Thumbs up from the non-partisan pBills. I vote democrat. I hope for both sides of the aisle actually get stuff done.
KD in CA Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 I vote democrat. pBills also doesn't understand the meaning of the word "partisan". btw...I vote for the best candidate, not for a party.

Gene Frenkle Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 funny how you didn't criticize Dog when he linked CNSNews Didn't see that, but I doubt it's his primary daily source... Perceptions grow over time.
Adam Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Any time blue beats red or red beats blue....we end up losing
pBills Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 pBills also doesn't understand the meaning of the word "partisan". btw...I vote for the best candidate, not for a party. Actually tool I do know the meaning. And I would consider voting outside of the party if I liked any of the other candidates. In other words, the best candidate lately has been within the democratic party.

Since 2000 we've only had a dem as President for 7 months and I thought all of you said it's waaay to early to judge.

Here's something from a former regulator: William Black A snippet: The FBI has been warning of an "epidemic" of mortgage fraud since September 2004. It also reports that lenders initiated 80% of these frauds

Since 2000 we've only had a dem as President for 7 months and I thought all of you said it's waaay to early to judge. This is true. Doesn't mean the best candidate won the two terms before Obama. :-)
Chef Jim Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 This is true. Doesn't mean the best candidate won the two terms before Obama. :-) No it doesn't but there is no way you can say the best candidate for President lately has been a democrat. You can say in my opinion the best candidate has been a democrat and then we could all just consider the source of that opinion.
blzrul Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 And wait until you find out that most of those farmers and business owners are conservatives and tell you city folk to go pound sand and find your own food. dream on.
Chef Jim Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 dream on. I see, they're all liberal? Well even if they were and a food crisis hit you can bet that those farmers are going to tell you uppity Mercedes drivers to go find your own food.
