  • If Bush is not to blame, why do you unknowingly blame him?

    Jennifer Olmstead proposes that the cure for what ails us is tax cuts, small government, and the ''free market,'' and also that Bush is not to blame. We must assume then that she believes the opposites of these to be causes of the problems we face (must be nice to live in such a simple world). But here it gets confusing, because Bush oversaw the ...

  • The Big Bailout...Ha!

    There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

  • Re: COX the Dumb Lapdog

    It's not just Cox, it's the whole Laissez-faire attitude this administration has had for the last eight years.

  • Don't blame Congress

    Hey Daniel: Congress did not cause this economic debacle; the Bush adminstration did... It is prudent to use all the checks and balances to insure that this: the mother lode of all bailouts is not frantically rushed through. The Economic failure didn't not happen overnight. Where were Bush's economic advisers? Did he know of the problem and ...

  • Geez, Dickerson! You're Way Off Base

    The big news yesterday was Bush’s speech, in which he invited McCain and Obama to meet today. Bush took ownership of that meeting in his speech, knocking McCain’s ploy out of the picture. Anyone who has paid attention in the last couple of days knows there has been constant negotiation between the Senate and House Committees and the White ...
