There have been those who for the last decade or so have been busy sewing the seeds of this disaster.
Republicans have been busy working for less market regulations, and now we get the bill for it. 3000 dollars per American. 12 000 dollars for a family of four.
The regulators are there to ensure this sort of thing doesnt happen. They are insurance.
You can always save money by not having regulators, but then you really have no one else but yourself to blame when you find that the unregulated market has run amuck.
Whoever wins the next election is financially screwed. However it really doesnt make much sense to vote for a man like McCain, after all, it is primarily the policies this man advocated that are responsible for the current financial crisis. This has just cost me about 3000 dollars if Im lucky, my job if Im not.
Not unlike Iraq really? Remember McCain, the military man saying before the invasion how it was going to be easy, sunni n shia never fought, we will be greeted as liberators etc?
You cannot question the grit of a man like McCain, however being tortured does not count as experience at military leadership. Indeed it appears that on most issues on which McCain has expressed a military opinion, he has been critically wrong.
