Let Them Eat Cake - The Orange Mane

This deserves its own thread. Send this to your Congressional rep the next time they ask for another bail out of the Wall Street sleazeballs.

As I said in the other thread. They must pay that back right now, and every one of those greedy bastards should be fired. Every goddamned one of them. I can picture them laughing about it over dinner. It makes me want to punch something.

What fun is that? I want the guillotine. It's the traditional way to remove swollen heads.

National Debt Graph: Bush Sets 50-Year Record

Double Whammy: 50-Year Record on Sept. 22. $10 Trillion on Sept. 30, 2008.

The gross national debt compared to GDP (how rich we are) reached its lowest level since 1931 as Reagan took office. It skyrocketed for 12 years through Bush I. Clinton reversed it at a peak of 67%. Bush II crossed that line on Sept. 22 and hit 69% on Sept 30. That's the highest it's been since 1955 (53 years ago).

Bush did three things to skyrocket the debt from $5.7 trillion to $10 trillion:

1. He lowered taxes on the rich (by far the biggest item).
2. He invaded Iraq instead of winning in Afghan-Pakistan (another $600 B).
3. He loosened controls on Wall Street.

As it happens, McCain backed all three policies: (1) He backed Bush's tax cuts for the rich and now wants to give them bigger tax cuts. (2) He was gung-ho for the Iraq war from the start. (3) When Katie Couric asked Sarah Palin to name one time McCain suggested regulating Wall Street, she couldn't—because he never did. He crowed in the Wall Street Journal how he was always against regulation.

Obama opposed the first two and said Wall St. needed regulating.
