It's not the private sector that has failed, it's the government. If the government would stop interfering in the economy, we would be much better off. Fannie May, Freddie Mac, and the Fed have tampered with our banking system for several decades. They are the problem.
In the 1980's we tried supply side economics, and it worked - the economy recovered.
Obama will not pay off the debt because he is spending way too much money.

@xp19375 John Galt and the Chicago School are dead! Get over it! Supply-side economic policies and government deregulation have failed. The adults are now in charge again. By the end of Obama's second term we will be paying down the debt (again, as the Dems did under Cinton).

The housing bubble was created by cheap money from the Fed. That's what I said.
Sound Keynesian principles? Like the ones that prolonged the Great Depression? The Great Depression was the first time the government intervened in the economy, and was also the worst economic crisis in history. Coincidence?
-
Oh really O'Reilly? Like the Chicago School led by Greenspan and their other Ayn Rand devotees espousing government deregulation had nothing to with creating the housing bubble? It is only the return to sound Keynesian economic principles that stopped the downward spiral and put us back on track to economic growth.
Please, we are not all as stupid as the average Glenn Beck viewer.

Couldn't agree more.
What I'm really getting at, is that some people say that corporations rob poor people, and then want more government to "correct" this, when it's really the government that steals from the people.

The mess we are in was caused by the government forcing banks to give out bad loans, backing them, thus creating a false sense of security, and the Fed. The Fed prints money, which causes inflation, and it kept interest rates artificially low and created this housing bubble which burst.
The Democrats and Obama haven't solved this crisis. They have racked up debt and are keeping bad companies alive. AIG, GM, Chrysler, and the like should go out of business.

I won't argue with you, because you are right and this is what's happening now.
However, there was a time when senators were not popularly elected, but chosen by state legislatures. This made it virtually impossible to bribe senators with campaign donations, since they didn't campaign. Also, to sway the senate, you had to sway the state governments too, and convince them to appoint the senators you want. Although it wouldn't end all bribing, it would certainly help if we repealed the 17th.

(1) The use of WTC in this ad is inappropriate and dishonors Americans from Wall Street who died at the hands of terrorists on 9-11. (2) The greed of Wall Street is a smoke screen to hide the way Congress/Obama is stealing power from the states and the people. (3) Vote them out of office while we still have the right to vote.

@billeybop LOL! Seriously, keep drinking the kool-aid. Chris Cox, Greenspan, and the whole Chicago School were dictating the economic policies of deregulation that led to the mess we were in.
Of course, you don't anything about the economic polices or the players from the Right that I am referencing. Those policies completely FAILED. It is only the Obama and the Dems implementing Keynensin policies that stopped the meltdown.
Go back to studying for your GED.

They buy the government and have IT steal for them, see Kelo-vs-New London. the supreme court primer on using the US & local government as the ultimate rent-a-thug!
So the Trade towers are a symbol of evil, greed and corruption? Well, thank you for the al Qaeda point of view, Martha.
