I am sorry ... but the attitude of "it is what it is" is not something I share. The politicians work for the people ... much of what Obama is doing, along with the rubber stamp congress ... is abuse of power and not what the people want. It is their socialist agenda.

People should speak out and hopefully vote them out of office.

I listened to Greenspans testimony on the way in to my office this morning .... he clearly blamed the Clinton administration for expanding subprime mortgages and later congress (democrats) for not taking action. He listed all the times (dates) he warned congress and the banking committee about the dangerous course we were on if action was not taken.

The historical subprime mortgages were 2 to 2.5% of all mortgages. Under the changes by the Clinton administration this grew to just under 15%. Prior to the changes under Clinton, sub prime mortgages were never secured or backed by the governemnt or bundled and sold abroad.

This is why housing prices got inflated, created a false economy and growth under Clinton and eventually burts.

We are headed down the same path with this massive govenment spending and social programs.

Close your eyes and not believe it ... call others chicken little ... but it is real ... it is happening and will happen. It takes time. But just because it does not happen next week does not make it less dangerous.

Obama is destroying this country, and the sooner people like you wake up and realize the destruction ... the sooner we can start to get it fixed.

I chuckle when I hear about the money spent on the war ... it is pennies compared to what Obama is spending. And the wars are wars on terror that impacts the world and justified. The dems said we should pull out and was critical of Bush ... so why are they now expanding the war?
