For all you libertarians and republicans who still are screaming for deregulation and hands off! I will make one point that is obvious! in europe everbody is saying they collasped because they where socialist, well they abandoned socialist principal and followed the deregulation of the states into finacial ruin! The only country in the world that kept is regulations was Canada and the only country in the world not affected by the melt down was Canada! explain that one!

Putting Phil Gramm in charge of anything financial is like putting Dracula in charge of the Blood Bank.

Gramm should be hung, drawn and quartered.

Phil Gramm will burn in hell when he dies a very painful death.

McCain gave this dude the pink slip during the 2008 Prez Campaign after he made that "We've sort of become a nation of whiners" sham of a comment. Even Ron Paul distanced himself from this assclown who happens to be from the same state as Dr. Paul. In fact Dr. Paul distanced himself from Gramm eons ago.

Dude, you GOTTA be a troll. I mean, there's just NO way you can actually believe that!

And if you do, drive over to your nearest community college and sign up to take Economics 101. I think you'll be surprised to learn how the economy ACTUALLY works -- the policies you just advocated would actually send the American economy into it's death spiral.

Thanks to liberal policy the world economy is crashing. We must do two things to stop the meltdown NOW!!! Firstly, we need to raise all payroll taxes 10% for one year. We also need to stop (right now) wasteful handout programs like medicare, social security, unemployment,, etc. and lower the minimum wage to $2/hr so we can compete with China for jobs. I will work with boehner,Paul Ryan and my other republican colleagues and take immediate action on these proposals. God bless the GOP!
