Dirty Little Secret - Universal Healthcare? Social Security?

lame: I noticed I ask you a lot of questions and for some reason you either fail to answer them or choose not to. I wonder why it is that you do not answer some fairly basic questions...like: How is a law signed before Bush was President his responsibility? Should Obama be blamed for the post office losing $3 billion under his watch? The wealthiest 1% pay 35% of ALL taxes collected. How are they not paying their fair share?

Do you just not have good answers?

This is comparing the wrong things. Those other nations also don't provide their own national security. And they don't give as much away to other countries as the US does. Our healthcare system was not the cause of this fiscal problem.
But those other countries constanting drop things from their healthcare system because of the growing cost of it. Read the British papers and you will see their healthcare system is being whittled away.

lame: I was not being lazy, I DID my research...and found that Clinton signed the bill into law, creating the mess.

What I do not understand is how YOU can possibly believe that Bill Clinton's signing a law is somehow Bush's failure. That is the part you have to explain, because no amount of research that I ever do is going to explain your total lack of logic and pure deductive insanity.

lame: Glass-Steagall Act: A law passed by Congress in 1933 that prohibited commercial banks from collaborating with full-service brokerage firms or participating in investment banking activities. It protected bank depositors from the additional risks associated with security transactions. The act was dismantled in 1999 (Signed by Clinton). Consequently, the distinction between commercial banks and brokerage firms blurred, and mortage restrictions suspended, causing the sub-prime meltdown.

I presume you are talking about the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 which ultimately repealed the GlassSteagall Act. Introduced by Phil Gramm, and Jim Leach (R-Iowa) in 1999. The bills were passed by a Republican majority, basically following party lines by a 5444 vote in the Senate. Nice try

lame: This bill would not have made it into law unless Bill Clinton signed the bill into law as President of the United States. Right?

He could have easily vetoed the bill and it would not have had enough support to get the 2/3 majority it would have needed to override the Presidential veto.

Your Democrat golden boy could have killed it, but chose instead to sign it into law. So to blame Bush for this, when he was not President is a blatant lie.

But that law was safe until the Bush Administration back tracked and repealed vital safety measures the Liberals had insisted is in Gramm-Leach-Bliley. The 3 biggest examples of this sneaky bullshit is in the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists,
United States-Jordan Free Trade Area Implementation Act USA, and the PATRIOT Act Once again you come up snake eyes.

lame: While the act you speak of has everything to do with lowering taxes on death related inheritance and retirement funds, it has nothing to do with giving mortages to people who could not afford them and predatory sub prime loan tactics.

Again, how do you blame Bush for things that happened before he got there? In the beginning of 2000, the sub-prime issue was already becoming a real problem...before Bush took office in 2001.

Funny how no matter what topic you speak about you are always right. You are aware that refusing to admit you are wrong doesn't mean you are right - don't you?
