Really.
It was the six years of President Bush and the Republican Congress that created this mess by appointing foxes to guard the hen house. In the military, the foxes created faulty intellegence to force us into an unneeded war for a dictator who was not a threat to the United States, only George Herbert Walker Bush. Which resulted in a never-ending war fought by mercinary subcontractors who enriched the VP's former KBR and the military-industrial complex.
In FEMA, Katrina exposed the unprepared foxes who were appointed to managae emergencies. On Wall Street the foxes looked the other way and/or profited while letting investment banks get cash for selling sliced/diced/repackaged mortgages to the highest bidder. And then the foxes received trillions of dollars as a reward for making a bad bet and an even worse side bet on the initial bad bet.
In the commodities market, another Ponzi-like scheme where corn and oil were traded higher and higher into the straosphere under the belief that what goes up must keep going up while demand was flat or decreasing.
Of course those with money are going to put it all on the sidelines the next four years -- they want to crush the Democratic Party, organized labor and anyone/anything else that keeps them from having even more of the world's wealth. The top 10% are no longer happy with only having 80% of the wealth.... they want more and will use any means necessary to get it.
