You are dumber than you sound if you actually believe that any politician (no matter what party) is looking out for anyone other than themselves. Bottom line, if a polictician comes up with an economic policy…normall it is crap. For example, the community reinvestment act. Sure, those “bleeding hearts” had well intentions….but just because ideological intentions were good, doesn’t mean the implementation is going to create good results. [/quote]

The difference is that at least one side has good intentions.

I would admit that the conservative side is smarter in that the singular focus on the pocketbook is a much easier approach.

It’s much easier to focus on your bank account here and now that trying to save the world. You don’t have to think about anything but your personal interest.

So why do you think that Paulson and Bush asked for this bailout if Republicans believe that government involvement is so bad?
