Bail Out Mainstreet

The free markets are completely discredited. There is significant political space to build a broad consensus for a 21st-Century New Deal that would stop spending our tax dollars on war and Wall Street, and instead help struggling homeowners and build affordable housing; fund job creating projects for clean energy and rebuilding our infrastructure; and fund a universal health-care system that would help American families, while cutting the nation's long-term healthcare costs.

To Hell with Wall Street, Kill the banks, bailout the people. The people are finally waking up to the truth that the politicians and the corporate criminals on Wall Street are working together to destroy the middle class and enrich the upper class by taking our money and giving it to the rich, and soon the people will take the power back from those in Washington and Wall Street.

Universal Health care in Canada was begun in the Late 50's by the Hon. Tommy Douflas. Canadians prospered.

Now with corporate pressures we are losing ground . Privatization is seeping in.

I know that when I default, the sheriff comes and kicks me and mine into the street, or they come and take our stuff. But when rich people go bust, they get rescued. That more people aren't even angrier about what is happening speaks to their mind boggling dunderheadedness.

So, free markets were discredited when government distorted markets collapsed? That makes a lot of sense. Typical socialist lies.
