The Fate of the Economy... still under deliberation.
« on: September 14, 2008, 03:18:20 PM »
Lehman brothers is about to tank. 'Rescue' strategies are being deliberated today.. how many more will fall? Cripes... watch the sovereign funds start eating up the crumbling american banking houses at fire sale prices..

Potential buyers could include Bank of America Corp., Britain's Barclay's Plc, Japan's Nomura Securities, France's BNP Paribas and Deutsche Bank AG. All have declined to comment.

Global fears intensified Saturday that the collapse of the country's fourth-largest investment bank would stagger markets and undercut confidence in the U.S. financial system.

U.S. regulators face growing pressure from abroad to find a way out ahead of Monday's reopening of Asian markets. Germany's Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck urged that a resolution be found before then, warning ominously, "the news that is coming out of the U.S. is bad."

Ok Exactly what did Bush specifically do to cause the economy to tank?

I'll agree with you the economy inst doing well at all.
Anyone who thinks it is is either blind or stupid.

But I disagree with you that it was caused by Bush

It was caused by his leadership.  I don't have time to give details, sorry.

Argument and proof by assertion.  This appears to be your standard...

I personally think that the first person who suggested nationalization of Freddie and Fannie in the meeting room shouldn't have made it out of the room alive.


But now that we've started, we won't be able to stop people from their own stupidity.

Soon we'll have the government running in to rub aloe on all the retards who put their hand on a hot burner.  Not long after that, we'll have the government preemptively take away everyone's stove.
