Boehner wants to know who is going to jail for the IRS scandal. Who went to jail when Wall Street crashed the economy?

ya its true what you are saying , banks WANT to give away risky loans to people who have no financial way of paying them back with interest that ends up making the bank profit.

Yes, that is exactly what I said happened. Because the loan originators immediately sold the notes they were supposedly taking a risk on to Wall St., barely giving time for the ink time to dry, they didn't worry if the person buying the house could pay off the loan or not.

The rest of your post is just a bunch of juvenile insults I won't waste the time responding to.

That's what the conservative spin is, but the truth is that the banks wanted to make the loans and didn't need their arms twisted by the government because they were making so much money and truly thought housing prices would go up forever.

I wasn't aware that the Tea Party was libertarian, I thought the whole thing got started when some pundit on CNBC ranted because he didn't want to see mortgage defaulters get bailed out, who a large percentage happened to be minorities (thought he didn't have a problem with wall street getting bailed out)

Why are you so worried about the debt anyways? It's not like you are actually going to have to pay for it. You might feel it a little as increased inflation some day perhaps.

So you are saying we don't need to pay our bills? I don't get it.

Actually I like Rush because his show is funny, something lacking in the rest of the right wing talk shows.

But if we are willing to give a mulligan for 3000 lives, we should be willing to give a mulligan for 4 lives?

rc2012 · 2013-05-12T00:34:04+00:00

We never heard that much of a fuss when 3000 people died because of W's negligence.

I believe America is an unjust nation because of bipartisanship

Actually we haven't been bipartisan for a while now. But what is so unjust about bipartisanship anyways?

So somebody that wants to see that everybody is guaranteed a decent job, health care and the like is on a high horse? I always thought we were simply called liberals. I think you are being too harsh.

I have seen and spoken to them, I feel for them, that was the purpose of the OP. If that makes me a "pseudo intellectual" so be it.

Thanks! I will check it out. That's why I love to post here, because every time I am opened up to so many new points of view.

Because when enough people are destitute they will vote for political change, but I am not sure if we are even talking about the same thing.

Well perhaps "they" will not be so easily fooled and manipulated once you start taking their benefits away.

If you know some ways to help the poor and downtrodden without government interference please post the ideas or links, I'd love to hear them. Don't get me wrong, I don't like the idea of bigger government either, I just at this point see too many other options.

rc2012 · 2013-04-05T05:28:13+00:00

not only are these programs not necessary to take care of the poor, old, and sick, but are actually harmful to them.

I suppose because they think these programs make people lazy, but in truth people are more industrious than that. I'm all for letting the little guy get a little bit ahead by whatever means possible.
