Please expand on what type of fiscal policy we should be following.Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06016275707476655364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10424035.post-54571739659489321352008-09-20T08:16:00.000-06:002008-09-20T08:16:00.000-06:00Yes, both parties are to blame because both partie...Yes, both parties are to blame because both parties have fallen for the ridiculous idea that the "free market" can solve everything without regulation or oversight and that the government should take a hands-off approach. Build an economic system that is driven by human greed and then retain the conceit that those greedy humans will act responsibly and ethically - how dumb can you be?<BR/><BR/>Now the "free market" Republicans (with Democratic assent) have engineered the largest nationalization in human history and created the largest socialist bank ever. Now the people who were always warning of the "moral hazard" of bailing out homeowners who thought that their mortgage was prudent because their banker told them so, are bailing out the bankers for making those bad loans - no moral hazard there?<BR/><BR/>Neither party, as currently constituted, is likely to find a way out of this morass and since both parties are funded by the same class of people that have been bailed out this week, they are unlikely to change. And for that same reason, a 3rd party is not going to get anywhere either.<BR/><BR/>Until the American people vote these free-market bozos out of office and put people in there who are willing to put America first, not American corporations first, we will stumble along from one crisis to the next.Charles Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02975241234146573609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10424035.post-73388021853821081732008-09-19T16:28:00.000-06:002008-09-19T16:28:00.000-06:00The most critical point, I think, of your article,...The most critical point, I think, of your article, is that this has happened on the watches of both Democrats and Republicans. Millions of people, having become disillusioned with both major parties, now sit on the sidelines when it comes time to vote. I think, rather, that they should vote for someone who will actually try to make a difference--<A HREF="http://www.thirdpartyticket.com/" REL="nofollow">someone from a third party.</A>Frank Stahelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822334061980912687noreply@blogger.com
