The writing has been on the wall for us all to see for some time now. Have we learned our lessons yet?

(Comments on Our Future)

GET READY FOR THE BIGGEST SHIFT OF WEALTH TRANSFER TO THE WEALTHY IN HISTORY- TRICKLE UP
WEALTH, TRICKLE DOWN TAX BURDEN TO THE MIDDLE CLASS!

It's a sad day for the environment, reproductive rights, civil liberties, freedom of thought, economic prosperity,
social services, charity and pretty much everything else that's good. Maybe the next couple of years will be a
wake up call to the idle American electorate (if you can call people whose votes don't get counted an
"electorate"). In the meantime, people are going to suffer (and I'm not just talking about innocent Iraqi school
kids).

All Bush talks about is a bloody war with Iraq, and the Dems just go along! We ALL knew that Iraq was
contrived to divert attention from 401-K's being decimated, over 2 million jobs lost, and the biggest budget
surplus in history handed to the wealthiest 1%.

ECONOMY IN SHAMBLES, EVER INCREASING DEFICITS, MASSIVE DISPARITIES BETWEEN RICH AND POOR,
A FAILED WAR AGAINST TERRORISM AND AN INSANE WAR AGAINST IRAQ, THESE IDIOTS CANNOT
SUCCESSFULLY ENGAGE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. NOT ONLY IS THE COUNTRY RUN BY A BUNCH OF RACIST
CORPORATE RUBES, BUT THERE IS NOT A CLEAR OPPOSITION PARTY.

Will all those Republicans be there to unload the body bags of our sons that Bush and cronies kill? No, and the
Democrats are to blame for the Republicans gaining power to kill our children. They spent too much too trying
to kiss up to Bush instead of reminding people that a drug addict is leading us to war.

The worst thing that could have happened was to unleash the Bush War machine, the anti-female, anti-liberal,
anti-common sense Republicans. There is no place in the US that is safe for a person to vent feelings WITHOUT
FEAR OF PROSECUTION AND INCARCERATION BY THIS BUNCH OF NAZIS IN WASHINGTON.

The reign of terror begins today. Abortion will be outlawed, handgun ownership will be mandatory, judges will all
be to the right of Attila the Hun, the streets will be crammed with crazy, despairing homeless and Iraq will be
reduced to a charred, smoking cinder. The only hope we have is that Robert Byrd can filibuster for the next two
years without stopping to go to the bathroom.

I am stunned....no...disgusted at the obvious apathy infecting this country. Get ready for the invasion and
colonization of Iraq, get ready for Roe v Wade to be overturned, get ready for unchallenged despoiling of our
environment....... The surplus is gone, the economy in the toilet, unemployment is high, retirement plans shattered,
we suffered our first major attack since 1941 after the administration announced they weren't going to be involved
in the Middle East (sounds like, Sharon, the butcher of Lebanon, will have free rein), we spend a year mucking
about in Afghanistan and accomplish nothing, we alienate the entire world, may well attack a country whose
leadership is neither ideological or Religious zealots and threaten us in no way.

I feel like I'm living a nightmare. The republicans are in control. Say hello to World War III and goodbye to the
woman's right to choose.

And say "bye-bye" to the Bill of Rights, too!"

I heard that hindsight is 20/20...its just too bad that our leaders in the White House, Congress, and the Senate managed to have blinders on the front AND the back of their heads for way too long now. Its like the blind leading the blind over there.

The trouble with relying on predictions is that there are so many of them and they are so different and the nature of them is usually so weird that people tend to ignore them and even the idea of predictions smells funny to most people, so it is not too surprising that people ignored this one.

However, the housing market had all the markings of a bubble, and there were weird things going on that didn't require 20/20 hindsight or predictions. People ust got to greedy and too cocky and didn't rely on good sense.

I'm sorry... didn't realize you were living in the fantasy land where the Dems share no responsibility for this. I thought you were one of the more rational posters here, I guess. not.

This is a mess created by both parties and the clueless Federal Reserve that goes back further than just GWB and the last 8 years.

Whoa - the last few lines in that video say it all.

Has McCain given any indication he has changed his mind about having Phil Gramm as his Secretary of the Treasury?
