[quote=flu][quote=Allan from Fallbrook][quote=patientrenter]I am not sure that differences between the Dems and the Reps on the bailouts are as big as the similarities. Both will bail out the banks for as much as is needed. It is true that Reps let one large bank (Lehman) go to the wall, and that count is really two when you count Bear Stearns being forced to sell itself to JPM. But both are determined to flood the economy with whatever it takes to reflate asset prices, and keep 90% of the banks afloat. Maybe it’s 99% for Dems (counted by size of assets), but that’s not much difference.
I am sure there are people on both sides who are convinced that only one party is right, but I think they are both wrong.[/quote]

I think both parties would have done the same thing, but I just don’t understand why the masses think it’s ok for this administration to do things. It just seems this administration has already broken more rules than the previous ones, though I guess it’s “ok” to break the rules if it screws wall street or the rich.
Tell you what Allan. I wasn’t able to make today’s get together because I still recovering, but the next get together, I’ll wear mine if you wear yours.
FLU: Ordinarily, I’d be proud to sport the same chapeau as you, but, given my Germanic bloodline, I’d have relatives rolling over in their graves if I were to don one of those!
However, at the rate we’re going, I might not have a choice, right? Of course, we could each get one of those Che Guevara berets. I’ll let my beard grow out and come in puffing on a big Cuban Cohiba. Just like El Maximo Leader, Fidel.
