Interesting article

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080916/ap_on_el_pr/candidates_economy

McCain blames the greed and corruption (I agree) but Obama blames the White House (not really).
And last time I checked, democrats controls the congress. What have they done? Anything?
What is their approval rating? in single digits last time I checked. What the hell are they doing?

who sounds more like a candidate that will face the problem and do his best to fix it?
I think the person who will punish the greed and corruption, and not someone who just blames another.

"With chaos rocking financial markets, John McCain assailed "greed and corruption" on Wall Street and promised to clean it up, while Barack Obama blamed White House policies and said his opponent would only deliver more of the same."

I'm not fooled

It is both the White House and "the greed and corruption" of Wall Street.  Maybe Congress could do more if the Republicans weren't blocking as many of the Democratic initiatives as they possibly could because they are better at politicking than making policy.

And why do you have to turn everything into a political debate?  This is more of an economics debate than a political debate.  You have contributed nothing to this thread.

 

i think to defer sir.

If you read my posts, I blame both republicans and democrats for the state we are in because they allowed the
Fed to create this bubble.

but if I contributed nothing for you, I apologize and leave this thread in peace.
