I agree that blaming either party for the current situation or why it happened in the first place is pretty self-defeating. Whether or not the public will blame someone is a completely different matter.
Bigjon actually has a pretty good idea, but I don't know if it would solve anything other than temporarily.
I don't think anybody was that thrilled about the bailout plan, both Republicans and Democrats. Republicans obviously disliked it a little bit more.
Whatever happens, people need to remember that everyone gets screwed when the economy is bad, both Democrats and Republicans.
We definitely have some rough economic waters ahead no matter how you spin it. Many people thought that the 500 point drop a week or so ago was as bad as it could get, but after the 700+ drop today, anything is fair game. We could be in for some major surprises in the next few days, weeks, and months.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
