So now we have Bank of American buying Merill Lynch, and others file for chpt.11 bankruptsy.  Last week with Fannie/Freddie, some on the left initially said they needed to investigate.. WELL WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Barney Franks, Chris Dodd, and a host of other Democrats and their financial buddies that worked in this failing organizations seem to have backed away from calling for any investigations!  We frog marched Martha Stewart, and Enron folks, independent counsel, and testimony all over the place.  So whats the difference now?

If we can pay our leadership to have public investigation and testimony for Baseball juicing, or  drum out "Big Oil"   WHERE IS THE BEEF NOW?

So why aren't your GOP buddies doing anything either? Because this a bi-partisan blunder/buttf**king of America. Your president was a big advocate of the whole sub-prime mortgage scheme in the beginning.....selective memory? This SHOULD be the biggest issue on the senate floor......I agree, yet amazingly it's not, and they, especially GOP's that the market just needs to regulate itself...it'll be ok. Has this happened before....a drastic inflation deflation jam to the housing market, followed by bank monopolization?.....about a 80 years ago. Why don't you have any independent objectivity? You can blame it all on the liberals, I forgive you, but why can't you see.... this good cop bad cop routine is a scharade. People are so wrapped up in trivial issues that they take sides and forget the fact that when it comes to real problem aspects such as banking, insurance, healthcare energy and pharmaceuticals, where the $$$ is both parties intentions are virtually the same....DO NOTHING that will REALLY change anything. Both parties get money from the same lobbyists, someone has to produce the soap opera. Both of their economic plans are similar in the sense that they continue to break our government, and give tax dollars to big business, whether through tax breaks and credits or contracts and "social programs" f'em all.

And whose taken the lead..... Bank of America. The bank that adopted a policy of giving credits to illegal immigrants. That set's them up pretty nicely for when John McCain and Lindsey Graham put the nail in the coffin of American sovereignty by granting illegals amnesty and officially opening the border. I don't support Obama by any means, and in many ways between the two, I think Obamas worse. But I will not give to the less of the two evils mentality. Loyalism is not Patriotism.

If the market is good then it's Bush's fault. If not, it's congress, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter's fault. Isn't that right?

That is right norty. Even you can see how the "new" democratic congress has screwed up this country since they started warming seats.

The last two years since they "took over" we have been going to hell in a handbasket.

That is your party's fault, not the Republican Party.

explain to me what exactly I said that isn't true if you think so.......you can't, FACTUALLY. If you think it's just been the last two years that we've been "going to hell in a hand basket" you need to smarten up... How does it feel to know that most of your right wing ally bloggers are just as ill informed and mentally challenged as the far left, Abunai?

OOPS! I say CnP posted here and got so excited I accidently hit my delete button! (I hate it when that happens!...)

Freedom buddy! Nice spin on Bush liking the housing market. But now all you "Bush's fault" folks.. put your money where your mouth is then!

Where is the demand for investigations? Where is the call for independent counsel? If the GOP and Bush are TRUELY to blame, then here is your GOLDEN opportunity to destroy any chance of Republicans in office during an election year!

Of course to bring testimony before the committee, you would have to bring Franks, Dodd, Rangle, Schumer, Connors, and all the former Fannie/Freddie folks working now on Obama's campaign staff.

Barney Franks last week said it wasn't Democrats fault because they didn't have any majority until 2006. LAME!!! You fillabustered/blocked regulation legislation as a minority, and then as a majority, taking chairman position of all committees like Franks, Rangle, Dodd, who can't follow or figure out the rules themselves, and turned the entire thing into their own little playground!

BRING ON THE INVESTIGATION!!!

Sen.McCain in 2004 is on record (video even) of asking how in the world we are allowing banking and housing to work in the dark as they are!

WHO pushed for sub-prime and NINJA loans? (No Income,No Job or assets)?

Oh PLEASE LETS HAVE THAT TESTIMONY!!

truthwillsetyoufree: Well lets set you free then!!

What truth should we start with? Lets see:

Clinton/Democrat connection with this market issue? Maybe we could start with Obama messing around with Iraqi Govt. issues? Or maybe we could go to Energy and who really has obstructed American energy policy and programs..

Just three off the top of my head that the Democrats are lucky that they control the hill (for now) and are holding back any investigation, testimony, sopenas, etc.

When GOP had control at least we formed commissions on an even platform like the 9/11 Commission. (as equal as you could get anyways) Jamie Gorelick was on the WRONG side of that table for sure, and we are STILL waiting to hear from Able Danger!

Interesting how since 2006 we have time for Juiced Baseball testimony.. TWICE! Big Oil multiple times until Maxine Waters let the socialist cat out of the bag, and we find Big Speculators were the culprit. Valerie Plame with her interpirtation of "covert" vs. definition of UNDER THE LAW, ending that one. Even when liberals know one of their own is the leak of information, they STILL go on a fishing expo and catch Scotter Libby in a LAME charge, yet Jefferson gets nothing, Rangle and his interpritation of tax law for his own homes garbled.. etc..

The market decline has obviously been Palin's fault. It has taken tremendous hits since she was selected as a candidate......probably part of what she calls "shaking up things in Washington." LOL

I believe Greenspan ( ? possibly misspelled ) made the comment that : this was a once in a hundred year occurance. In 1920 the market crashed, unfortunately I believe that to be the event he is referring to. Real reasons in my belief : lax lending laws written and approved by the House and Senate, a $ 700 billion dollar a year transfer of wealth for foriegn oil, no protection from patent copyrights rip-offs, a goverment intent on redistribution of corporate wealth, and the increasing tax burden for social services as a result of lax immigration law enforcement.

As best I recall, stocks openly being traded on the market and tracked began in the mid 1850's. Greenspan's comment would suggest a time period specific occurance or cycle. It's vague, and non specific though. The first crash was attributed to speculation and buying on margin, I believe. Sounds similar to current loan practices, but then I'm no expert. Intresting post Abunai !

Good one shadows! And here I thought you had no sense of humor!

It is Palin's fault! LMFAO! That was funny!

I was wondering how soon she would start taking blame!

That was a joke, right? If not, I certainly hope you grow a few more brain cells!

It is very clearly the government's fault. They have no constitutional authority to interfere with the markets. They caused the first crash by manipulating money. They created this one by manipulating lending, money and regulating all of them.

A free market would have a much different outcome. That is a very difficult statement to prove, since a free market has never been tried.

But you said it anyway. That is the problem with America right now. Everyone has thier own theorys, and will spew them without regard to truth, or accuracy.

Please tell me how this statement is not totally contradictory wolf?

"It is very clearly the government's fault. They have no constitutional authority to interfere with the markets."

That tops the list of the most stupid comments I have EVER read here!

It is only as stupid as the person reading it. It is a very clear and precise statement about overreaching government.

Tell me what you can't comprehend, and I will try to rephrase it with smaller words.
