DISQUS

Why doesn't he start by reclaiming the Bridge To Nowhere funds that Palin kept to buy her tanning bed?

The last act of scoundrels is to loot the treasury.
That is what this is really about, from the top down. They knew the ride was just about over and they decided to get what they could. Bush and his cronies, along with these Wall Street sycophants should all run off to Paraguay and meet up with the old Nazis hiding out down there.

Bush should be prosecuted for crimes against this nation.

I would hope that the Bush legacy is reported as the worst in American history. Like a house of cards, it is all collapsing. The national debt, the economy, the housing markets, job loss, you name it, everything is just crumbling. And Bush isn't done yet, he is quietly pushing for changes in environmental areas. Just as when Bush was a businessman, when he left businesses in ruin, so he leaves the office of president.

And what kind of leader is he? Markets are collapsing and you would think the president would try and calm Americans. Nope, it would not be good campaign policy for the Republicans to have their president be seen right now. It just might remind voters who is and has been in power for 8 years.

So, let me get this right. My investments are tanking, and now my taxes are going to bail out my investments.

Unfortunately, that about sums it up.

I'm going to have to teach until I die. Thanks, Bush.

Meanwhile, he and the rest of the super rich get away with this and aren't affected by recessions or depressions for that matter. I can hope that the Hague will go after him and Cheney since it will never happen under a republican or democratic Congress.

McCain with his twelve houses doesn't give a rat's ass about the working person.

How can all these bailouts be approved without Congressional approval? Isn't Congress in charge of appropriations?

Butch1 · 1 year ago

This is bazaar. This type of interview needs to be viewed by the public again and again to show where he is mentally. I do not trust this man to be president period. One knows who will be actually running the administration propping him up and feeding him what to say, not unlike Nancy Reagan feeding words to Ronald and him just repeating them. We know our idiot in chief was a foil for Cheney to ram through his ideas and agendas. We do not need this and with Obama, this will not happen.

Bush better bail them out.

He's the one that told everyone to throw their Bibles away and believe that the new Axis of Evil is Iran, Iraq and North Korea.

It used to be that the Love of money was the Axis of Evil.

Unhappy investors produce more Dems.


Bush has to bail them out. Just keep an eye out for the newly converted.......they haven't really cared about dead soldiers for very long.

With every government bailout making the dollar worthless, Bush has effectively privatized Social Security. Mission Accomplished

The largest transfer of wealth in history.

Iraw War, Inc. is teteering on failure and the adminstration is sending another taxpayer funded $12 billion a month annuity to Iraq to try to keep it afloat.

ydthin · 1 year ago

it's always been their plan to bankrupt the treasury and this is just the eleventh hour tidying up. Can't have a social safety net with nothing to fund it.

This is getting really scary. MPR had a discussion with an economist that basically said that all the current administration has to do is to prop things up so they last a few more months. Then they leave town and leave the mess to someone else.

sounds just like a George Bush modus operandi

The Chrysler bail out cost NOTHING. The government co-signed loans. The loans were paid back, and paid back early. This was a Chrysler competing against Japanese industry that was thriving on government loans in Japan.

The real problem was not forcing Chrysler to alter it's company charter towards placing representatives of labor and white collar workers on its board of directors. They are a better proxy of the shareholders interest then most boards. They should have forced Chrysler to provide tenure to employees as well. This forces the company to think long term about competitiveness and growing market share, because it can't fire employees. This is in the stockholders beast interest.

[Subject] StateDemocracy.org Equips You for the 2008 Elections

Dear Citizen:
Are you ready yet for the November 4th Elections? How about your friends, family, and neighbors?
More Americans are expected to vote this year than ever before in history, so don’t be left out! Be sure to ask everyone you know the following questions:
 Are you registered to vote? If you moved recently, have you updated your voter registration?
 Did you apply for an Absentee Ballot? Do you know your state may not require any reason?
 Can you find your local Polling Place? Do you know it may have changed from last time?
The answers to these questions -- and all your voting needs -- can be found at www.StateDemocracy.org -- the FREE 1-Stop citizen empowerment portal that Delivers Democracy to your Desktop! StateDemocracy is among the Internet’s first (since 2001) and most encompassing civic empowerment tools.
In order to boost voter participation this year, StateDemocracy.org is offering FREE widgets for all 50 states. You can simply download and embed these widgets into your own website so your visitors can register to vote, get an absentee ballot or find their local polling place.
Lobby Congress Via StateDemocracy
StateDemocracy.org also equips you to maintain an active dialog with your state and federal lawmakers once they are elected. And RIGHT NOW is an especially opportune time to contact your U.S. Senators and House Member, as Congress takes up major legislation on such issues as offshore oil drilling, another economic stimulus package and all federal appropriations bills over the next few weeks.
As you lobby your elected officials, remember that lawmakers view your constituent input as reflective of scores of other citizens who felt similarly, but didn’t have (or take) the time to share their opinions.

Wow, Way to go there Dictator Bush! Your REgime has literally run this country straight into the ground. Perhaps if you would stop meddling in other countries business and start to deal with your own problems things might not be so bad!

The best quote I saw yesterday was this: "Profits are privatized, losses are socialized." I believe it was some economist on CNBC. Disgusting.
