I think every culture's said that in some form. There's going to be plenty of finger-pointing and while my bias is leaking, I'd rather see Obama take at least some of the blame if there has to be a crash. I worry that he's going to put us in a weaker position facing China and it looks like he's going to.Regarding the election and other things ---
An ancient Sumerian Proverb, " It does not matter who's fault it is, but how well YOU place the BLAME!
I hate to say it, but I've been thinking the same thing. If there's going to be a crash anyway a nice silver lining would be for irresponsible leftist policies to be soundly discredited.Trevor wrote:There's going to be plenty of finger-pointing and while my bias is leaking, I'd rather see Obama take at least some of the blame if there has to be a crash.
I used the Sumerian quote to simply show that this approach has been used for a very long time, nothing new. As to who will get blamed, we shall see. Looks like the sheepel will be sheared and then turned into lamb chops.Marshall Kane wrote:I hate to say it, but I've been thinking the same thing.

During the Great Depression, there were a lot of people who were saying that the free market doesn't work and the economy became heavily regulated. Now that we've got it and we're still heading for a crash, not to mention the 16 trillion in debt, people are starting to turn against that.hate to say it, but I've been thinking the same thing.

Held a lot of appeal! --- like Henry Ford getting a medal from Hitler!Trevor wrote:During the Great Depression, there were a lot of people who were saying that the free market doesn't work and the economy became heavily regulated.

However, there is a danger. There's always a chance that we could end up destroying our system and turning it into a dictatorship. We forget that during the 1930's, both Fascism and Communism held a lot of appeal. The new deal was modeled to some extent off of Mussolini's programs and there were some who wanted us to become like Germany or Russia.
