What I actually said was that no one held a gun to OUR heads and made us sign the loan docs. If we had said no, none of this would have happened.

WE got greedy. They made it easy for us. Think of the drug dealer. He is just satisfying a demand.

No demand, no drug dealer.

ALL of the representatives are up for re-election in five weeks. We can completely change the house by just voting for the challenger. Think of the media anlaysis of THAT.

Now you're talking!

We have the collective power to change the Congress completely.

Let's all vote OUT the incumbent!

There might be something else going on here?.

There's always something going on, and it doesn't matter which side it is coming from. No economists agree with a bailout, and neither do I. let the chips fall where they may for our country. No bailout means disaster for my business, but my country is much more important!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
