Considering there is a do nothing congress called republicons. I think we all now who has not done a f'ing thing. Name anything the republicon congress has done. What a joke.

A little civics for you, congress spends the money and has a lot more power to get the ecconomy going rather then the pres. He has put forth the jobs act, which is all good unless your a greedy person that won't pay taxes on there second million. You kidding me.

Somebody doesn't know how the office works.  NOTHING ever gets done when its a split. Things only get done when both president and congress are the same party.  If they aren't, then the other just votes the other way.  THUS nothing gets done.  Blame Obama as much as Republicans. If republicans had a plan Obama would shut it down, if Obama has a plan Republicans shut it down.  thus nothing happens.  BUT the media is insanely left wingers thus all they talk about is how republicans shut down everything and not that the same thing is happening the other way around.  Not to mention Obama only blames people since his election.  You can only blame somebody for so long.  You have been in office for four years, you have full control for 2 of them.  Time to take responsibility.

So what side you on? It's the firefighters, teachers, cops and unions fault we are in debt or the deregulation of wall st., banks and tax breaks for the rich. lets also not forget the bush tax cuts obama extended for the republicans, which is a reason I lost some respect for obama. See the thing is the republicans have said meet us here and then the dems do, only for republicans  to move more to the right. IT's happened a lot. So yes, I'm on the side of the firefighters and hardworkers that are not that stupid to understand that this was the banks,wall st, 2 wars and the rich not paying there fair share that caused the biggest crisis since 1929.  See when you give tax breaks to corporations and others. you take form infrastructure and many other programs that are the back bone of america. Majority of people on food stamps and the like are old veterans, Kids and 30% is people with under paying jobs. I agree there is fraud, so regulate more. Demand creats jobs not tax breaks.

im sorry but you must live in a different country than I because in the US Wall Street, as well as almost everything else is heavily regulated, in fact the governments regulations and policies is exactly what caused our financial downturn (see: giving risky mortgages to people who dont deserve them).

rather than ask what in the US is heavily regulated, a better question would be: What isnt regulated?

and the rich dont pay there fair share? you realize they pay over 70% of the tax burden, while nearly half the country foots 0%  of the tax burden? and you are saying the rich dont pay there fair share? not only do they pay the most, they also have the highest tax rates, as well as the highest corporate tax rates in the WORLD! letting anybody and everybody KEEP their OWN MONEY that they EARN, is always a good thing.
