A LOT of people would've been spared from the misery of this Bush-Cheney-Cox economic train wreck.

Congress (controlled by the DEMS for Bushs' last two years) doesnt seem to get any of the blame.... but blaming dems for anything is against the law.

Its interesting how the economy did SO well for the 6 years with Bush and the Republican congress... then the Dems take control and the whole world falls flat on its face.

Obama was supposed to be some magic quick fix... and this past month may have been the worst since the recession began (not that I actually think ANYONE could have turned it around in a month... but still, Obama didnt do it)

Bush deserves some blame... but he is a very small part of this mess. Clinton is as much to blame. So is Greenspan, Madoff, and a lot of Republicans and Democrats alike.

THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA who's irresponsibility caused this... should be the ones people blame the most.

almost 1 year into the great derbytrail hyperinflation scare of 2009.

trillion's spent to prevent a depression.

no depression. and no hyperinflation. the fed apparently getting ready to raise interest rates later this year.

which i assume will please the inflation hawks.

it's good to know that the solid people at derbytrail nailed this one so well. i enjoy reading all the recent "there was never any chance of a depression and this was all a socialist plot." posts almost as much as this thread.

The government has no choice but to keep rates down at all costs. Any utterances to the contrary are to keep the inflation hawks (suckers) from crying too much. We are in this mess for the long haul. Lots of damage to be worked through. And thats not pointing fingers at bush or anyone else. You simply can not undo the damage that we have done from 2003-2007 in a short period of time.

why are the printing presses running 24/7?

LOL @ printing presses. {shakes head} We are where we are. Do I think we need to spend money on some of this garbage that was proposed? No. At the same time, interest rates have to remain low for the foreseeable future even if it means the presses run double time.

Lets talk about the jets.
