Or a favor, as we spell it in the USA. Clinton, Harding, Hoover, Nixon, Carter-- all fell short of the leadership we had under Teddy Roosevelt. And FDR was the direct opposite of his cousin "Teddy"--he was the biggest con-man to ever hold the office of POTUS-- his many "smoke and mirrors" programs just delayed the inevitable- WW11- which he got America into vis a vis his cozy relationship with Winston Churchill was the event that brought the American economy out of the Great Depression-- RWTF

Craig, if anybody could have cured the crash, surely someone might have prevented it in the first place. That was W's watch. As was the war in Iraq. As for these conversations, I wouldn't want an easy road. That would be boring. If you actually paid attention to this stuff, Bill, you'd know that the origins of that crash began with terribly ill advised choices the CLINTON administration made to encourage the extension of mortgages to people who could not afford them. It was specifically done to make the poor, low information Democrat voter think Clinton was doing them a favour. As I said, buying votes. It not only holds water, bill .......... it's a wellspring of truth. 'Fess up, Bill. What are your motives, really? SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

James is right. Deregulation hand-over-first with Clinton, Greenspan saying all the tools in place to prevent bad happening, Obama chose Keynes to save the world and got the country's money back with small profit. But look, look: the big boys are pushing deregulation hand-over-fist again. As for doing the electorate a favour by getting it to vote against its interests, all parties are good at it. It's manipulation of the electorate under the guise of managing its affairs.

Well alrighty then; we don't all agree on the 2nd or the welfare society. Immigration is a non-starter around here.
How about "women's rights" aka abortion on demand. Georgia has passed a bill referred to as the "heartbeat bill", which outlaws abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected. It carries the usual exceptions for rape or incest.
GA doctors are up in arms about it saying the State can't outlaw something they are trained to do. Women's Righters are livid. The whole purpose of the bill is to get something before the supreme court to either uphold Roe vs. Wade or overturn it.
The issue is simple for me; infanticide or feticide is murder. However, my own wife and I can't even agree on it.
On the other hand, women, for the first time since Adam's Rib have been allowed to fully enjoy their own sexuality without fear of more offspring. Men have benefitted accordingly.
Where's this one going?...Geo

Canvasback, you live in the right place if you're still hunting pheasants in March. Here, we just hope some of ours made it through the winter. It's not fair to blame low income home buyers for the crash. Most of them probably thought they'd never be able to buy a house. Along come easy leans; the banker says of course you can get a loan. It's hard to pass that offer up. It's the lenders that drew these people in. They didn't care if the buyers were qualified or if the loans were repaid because they sold the mortgages off to another set of naive clients. Trump will let this happen again if he gets his way. He is no fiscal conservative. He's been an unqualified borrower several times and left others holding the bag.

It was only twice, but barak was an unqualified prez. He was eminently qualified though to show the ways of identity politics, eh? His signature accomplishment, after making community organizing a college degree, two year.

Bill, it was a lovely day. I didnt BLAME low income homebuyers..... I blamed cynical user Bill Clinton for using them in such a despicable way..... to financially trap them while pretending to give them their dreams. All to buy more time in power. More time to become worth 100 million. A cynical ploy by a despicable man. Hero to the Left. Regular passenger on Lolita Air. Ill take Trump and Bush, for all their faults, any day. And remember Bill. Iraq war. Full support of the Democrats at the time. Full support.
