the entire new deal, rebuilding our infrastructure was the industry funding it’s own recovery, creating the very jobs through the programs, creating the middle class assets known as our infrastructure and creating the middle class economic system that we knew until reagan

It almost seems like this was half the plan to begin with. And who says Bushco has been incompetent.

Smells like “Mission Accomplished” to me.

You simply can’t make money of nothing — which is exactly what the collatoralized debt instruments that packaged bad mortgage risk attempted to do.

Banks who now refuse to loan to those who try to use mortgages as collateral say they can’t value the collateral. But, it might be more accurate to say they think the value is far too little — maybe the vultures who want to buy them for cents on the dollar are more right than wrong.

How would you evaluate an ARM that’s been around a few years? It’s important to fix them, so people can afford their homes and so banks can evaluate them to make business loans and keep the economy going.

Another way to get at the folks who dug this hole.

We know the American Neo-cons,war hawks and MIC-Pentagon will not give up any warmaking money,”national security” money or “defense” money.

And the top 10% income earning Americans will not endorse deeper taxes without lots of resistance and pushback.

So Universal Healthcare/Medical Coverage for Americans is “not doable” because Americans can not afford it. Yet there is always money for funding MCI/Pentagon and now this Wall Street public funding transfusion/infusion?

Americans should have put into place Single Payer HealthCare back in late 1940’s. That would have been the right thing to do.

Americans understand the concept. All Americans share for police,fire and schools funding and budgets. We do it with the judicial system,corrections system and surely the Pentagon runs on all Americans paying in for what the Pentagon does in America here in early 21st century.

HealthCare for all Americans? Surely the facts and needs of bottom two thirds of American income earners are in full support of SinglePayer HealthCare for these Americans in particular. The wealthy can go out and buy whatever they want. Most Americans do not have that luxurious position.

This $700 billion to one trillion Wall Street grab has the signature of some really devious “shock and awe” activity on the part of those who want to suffocate Universal/SinglePayer HealthCare for Americans.For all time.

Obama opted OUT of the campaign finance system so he can raise and spend as much as he wants/can for the general election plus raise funds for the Democratic party entities. If Obama had opted IN as McCain did, he would have been limited to the 84.1M

So..I think that you are saying that every candidate is entitled to the 84.1B and then they still raise money? I think that some campaign financing laws could use a re-do!
