    The economy is cyclical, this isn't a depression.

    The USA suffer but other are doing quite well and other are doing way worst.

    In the end, those who aren't diversified enough will fall by the wayside and other will buy them out and profit by it and the cycle will continue.

    The USA will not fall to peices yet. We need a Republican president with limited intelligence and a Repulican House and Senate in the next election to realy see a depression. We just need more corruption at the highest levels of the corporate and banking world like Bernie Madoff. Yea it's like Jew on Jew crime.

    stap the wars, stop the massive aid programs towards Anti US groups like Pakistan Palestinians etc.

    Stop wasting money in general will help. Stop immigration while it is clear that there are not enough jobs at hand.

    More fear mongering. The US isn't broke. Keep being brainwashed though. Energy independence is all we need.

    We need a much larger war to get out of this depression.

    We should invade larger countries like Iran or China.

    Iran wouldn't be a large war. It would be another completely one sided stomping match brought to you by the US.

    Going to war with china would be pointless.

    There is massive China bashing going on and I think the administration is preparing to invade China.

    A couples days ago Pentagon said cyberattack would be deemed act of war and today google conveniently said it was attacked by China.

    What's interesting is that google is attacked by hundreds of hackers from all over the world everyday and they don't cry out till something originates from China.

    What is more interesting is that those Chinese hackers are sophisticated enough to hack into google's system but not sophisticated enough to hide their trace, which is a lot easier to do.

    Getting out of Afghanistan will not save the economy. $500 billion is a drop in the bucket with $15 trillion in debt.

    Another idiot claim that we just are not empowering the Government enough and giving them even more of our hard earned wealth to (*)(*)(*)(*) away.

    It is comedic watching Liberals spam the forums with these idiot claims and doomsday predictions and passing blame off on Republican Presidents and apparently one like Reagan who actually signed onto RAISING taxes with a Democrat Congress who then stabbed him in the back and didn't put forth the promised spending cuts. I find it amazing how anyone with even half a brain can want MORE Government and HIGHER taxation.

    You people can't even keep track of your idiot talking points.

    The regulations were in place; but when the people overseeing those regulations warned Congress, the Democrats labeled them as being racists and told everyone there wasn't a problem. Note that the Republicans are the one's concerned - pay special attention to Maxine the idiot Waters and Gregory the race baiter Meeks:

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yga7TlsA-1A"]YouTube - ‪Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Hearings 2004‬‏[/ame]

    Someone who really got it in 2003 and who was ignored:

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpBIhHi7KEA"]YouTube - ‪Ron Paul questions John Snow at hearing on Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac‬‏[/ame]

    This notion that it was the regulations and not the irresponsibility of Political legislation and partisan posturing requires the willing suspension of disbelief.

    Well then, the rest of the world is out os step with your grace. Goldmen Sachs is under investigation right now for an indictment do to their unlawful practices in the sub prime mess. In other words; the entire world knows that it was crooked banks and crooked Wall Street run amuck that crashed the economy, and the regulations were put on the back burner durning GW Bush's watch. So, you're way out of touch with reality again.

    Nobody on Wall Street will be prosecuted for the "sub prime mess."

    If that happens, their co-conspirators in (and formerly in) Congress will go down with them.

    Would you try every single person that works on Wall Street? Because no one person or group of people are at fault with sub-prime mortgages.

    How ironic calling others the joke when posting this nonsense; but I am sure you can provide a credible link to evidence that Phil Graham single handedly caused an economic catastrophe which found its origins in derivatives.

    I look forward to reading it.
