3/23/09: White House Press Briefing

[averagetubeguy]

...and which of you illiterate morons has a better plan? None, of course - just like John Boner's budget plan that doesn't include dollar amounts. It's easy for the minority neo-cons (yeah, I love saying that!) to criticize anything democrat when they have strong interests in ensuring that he fails. They got us into this mess and now they still want to call the shots! This briefing is a perfect example, with Gibbs having to explain simple things repeatedly because they want him to look bad.

[chati16]

Gibbs is a defensive smart (fat) ass. Ever notice how the horns come out when the press "questions the obama administration"

[KKKRobertByrd]

Gibbs is going to be one of the first up against the wall.

[mephibosheth]

The "Government" doesn't pay for anything...the taxpayer does.

PART-1) ... LEARN WHAT BROUGHT ON THE ECONOMY CRISIS:

BUSH was (elected?) Nov. 2000. -- Dec. 2000 the REPUBLICAN Congress rushed (Without Debate) ... Bill HR-5660 / S-3283 ... [ The Commodity Futures Modernization Act ] ... the so-called ENRON LOOPHOLE ... drafted by Enron lawyers.

This drastic Bill AMENDED Securities & Banking Laws, REMOVED Federal Regulations & Oversight and gave a free-hand to greedy entities, to REGULATE & POLICE THEMSELVES !!

[librophile]

PART-2) ... LEARN WHAT BROUGHT ON THE ECONOMY CRISIS:

This would lead to abuse & price-gouging ... Enron Downfall, Big Oils $4.00 price at the pump, Mortgage Crisis and Wall Street Financial Collapse.

All having been heavy contributors to the Republican Party electoral campaigns.

From 2000-2006, Democratic legislators introduced legislation to close the loophole, but were repeatedly blocked by Bush & the Republican Congress.

[librophile]

PART-3) ... LEARN WHAT BROUGHT ON THE ECONOMY CRISIS:

In Sept. 2007 the new DEMOCRATIC Congress trying to mitigate, overrode Bushs veto & passed HR-6124 / S-2058 finally closing the ENRON LOOPHOLE after 7 years.

But the harm was already done and it would lead to the present Economy Crisis & the need for Stimulus Packages.

[librophile]

US ECONOMY IN LAYMAN TERMS:

2000~BUSH & the REPUBLICAN Congress started a fire to our HOUSE & allow it to burn down.

2007~New DEMOCRATIC Congress with only 1 majority vote couldn't stop that 7 YRS OLD FIRE. They were always BLOCKED by BUSH & REPUBLICANS.

2009~Hypocrite REPUBLICANS now blame DEMOCRATS for not putting out THEIR fire.

2009~DEMOCRATS using our Money are cleaning up the ashes & rebuilding our HOUSE with Smoke Alarms & Sprinkler System to prevent it from happening again.

[logexdan]

Why didnt they just give the american people the money???...instead of giving it to these jerks who receive the money and still claim bankruptcy.

[librophile]

Because it's not only our Economy that needed to be rescued....it was also our Financial System.

In this Global Economy, the world depends on & trust our Banking system.

That's why?

[sseexxyydude]

Rescue those banks.

[mopkcop]

government is big. really big... maybe too big?

[Deeragon]

1,000,000,000,000. trillion dollars divided by 303,824,640 (July 2008 est.) people in the USA, is 3259.19$ for each

[mopkcop]

but its a 3 trillion dollar debt yah?

[JoshMcRay]

Don't add children (people under 18) because they wouldn't get part of that money.

[Deeragon]

I'm talking about how much we are all going to have to pay.

[JoshMcRay]

Ok still Children won't be apart of that.
