    I'm speaking about regulation strangling free enterprise. You can kill anything when you choke it, overload it with so controls it can't function.

    the only problem was GOP crony oversight of the real estate industry. They allowed their Pals in the private real estate industry to dominate and let them get away with murder selling to anyone who would sign on the dotted line. Incredible bulshit. every time the Republicans get eight years they wreck the economy was a corrupt bubble and bust. And you people keep voting for them God Knows Why well now you're brainwashed. the silent majority is now the loudmouth majority

    Then it would seem you didn't try to teach religion- but history, and of course religion does have a role in it. I see that as the way it should be.

    Some regulation--straightforward, fair, not burdensome, not corrupt, and protective against predatory business practices--can and should be part of the mix.

    If you think somebody needs aid, nobody is stopping you from helping them out.

    Something else along those lines .. I had students thanking me for not trying to manipulate them into doing anything other than thinking for themselves. I went into teaching to help students reach their life goals, not brainwash them.

    Sure. Regulations are made just to piss the right off. Regulations are made when dishonest brokers try to shaft the public. No more no less. Ethical business practices, no regulations.

    Republican government oversight was pathetic just like their oil oversight a joke.Countrywide got away with murder. Fannie and Freddy's share the market went from 75% to 25%in 2003

    I'm talking about GOP oversight and regulation of the industry which was pathetic and a joke and corrupt cronyism. Part of the revolving lobbyist door the GOP loves so much, super duper.

    All one has to do is study the two graphs to see the failure of Bush Administration to use the regulatory tools they had available.

    You guys are so predictable. Your claim is that Democratic financial executives and members of Congress are unethical, shady, untrustworthy, stupid, greedy, demonstrably wrong, and predatory. They are SO bad they need a Republican President they hated to force them to behave in ways contrary to the way the former Democratic President WANTED them to behave.

    I love it. You think Democrats are so corrupt they need a Republican President to force ethical behavior on them. LOL.

    https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/releases/2008/10/20081009-10.html

    The FACTS according to @hellofromwarsaw and @LangleyMan: Democrats are scum that need Republicans to keep them from screwing everyone! LOL

    Brilliant political debate tactic. Trash your party, call them predators, give them a pass, and beg the political opposition to force them to be good.

    This is too good. Thanks guys. LOL

    I think the weak math references pretty much speaks for itself. They make no sense.

    You are utterly failing to make the case here. The lack of examples would have the judge shrugging and grunting.

    The right views teaching real science like evolution as “ transgressing”.
    For example, Evolution is-the single most demonstratively verifiable baseline for natural science and its dissed by conservatives. So anyone who does not teach religious tenants as an alternative, is transgressing.

    They also think the democratic party is somehow responsible for controlling someone who votes democratic. Yeesh the stubborn march against reason is full steaming ahead.

    'You people'? :facepalm 'you're brainwashed'? :facepalmx2

    The building of this situation spanned both Democrat and Republican, but apparently that is too much to admit. Never show a possibility of admitting there is a flaw in the public policies regardless of political party, eh?

    May I recommend you do so some reading that you haven't done before? Also consider who you address the asinine comments to, before you make them a permanent thing on the internet.
